I just took off my Obama Biden car magnet this morning for two reasons.

1. I want to keep it and it looks good by the 2008 magnet on the refrigerator.

2. The mental stability of some Right Wing citizens (not necessarily Romney supporters) seems rather fragile. I give it about a week before one gets to close to the edge and makes news somewhere. As for now no need to get keyed (least) or otherwise targeted.

I remember seeing my father's button for FDR when I was very young and asking what it was. I think I still have my McGovern somewhere. I hope my son (who voted for the first time by absentee this year) kept his.

The first one was pulled up. The second one was treated wit spray sticky glue an idea I got here at DU. The second sign ended up on a tree. Neither sign was cheap but went to a good cause.

It seemed to evoke his protective instinct he is a policeman and watched a lot of Sesame Street at child care. Being a lifelong Democrat he up to now just followed along tradition but the Sesame threat awakened him.

Todd Akin bless him really made my son angry with "legitimate rape" he was investigating a rape at the time the second one he has encountered.

I am grateful to clear vision Republicans provided in 2012.
