Holy Cow! ... Look what's going on out in farm country.
Edited on Fri Aug-01-08 11:41 PM by farmbo
Ohio has kicked off our Barack's Barns project:







These two girls are heading up the Buckeye Bovines for Barack...Obaaa..ma, Obaaama, Obaaama!



This is how we'll win this thing folks!

5. I must confess
We've got primer on the gate to the carport, but no top coat, so the gate is white.

A few years ago, I got some paint samples I decided not to use. One is a clear red; one's a bright blue.

:think:

62. or "625 Miles to Wall Drug"
It's even better than the Mail Pouch Tobacco barns I used to see.

How about a Burma Shave campaign:

Look up ahead

To the 4th of November

Barack Obama

Is the Name to Remember!

then, on the last sign, in Burma Shave script: "Barack Obama"

51. We hicks have shotguns and we know how to use them --
not lethally, not at all. But a bit of buckshot in the nether regions would sting and distract anyone trying to light a fire.

19. Damn, that barn looks great - The scale is what makes it work
I've never been excited about Obama's graphics on, say, a lectern, because it sort of gets compressed and confusing. It works on the side of a barn. I like!

22. Does anyone remember those road signs...
that would each have one word on them spaced so far apart...and then the end one would say what the brand they were advertising?? It would go like this..Vote.....For....Democrat.....Barack Obama...For.....President....2008.....Yes....We....Can...I think it would be neat to see some of those or something like it...I know when I was a kid...we were always thrilled to see those signs posted alongside a country road....wb

23. I'd much more enjoy driving through Ohio now on I-80
I had to do that alot when I lived in Indiana and drove back to PA. The Obama barns would put a nice smile on my face.
