The funniest sign in my neighborhood is “Frank Reynolds for Judge”

Obama signs are way outnumbering McCain signs in mid-Michigan.

100% Obama here.  Including Obama jack o’ lanterns, and copious pedestrians in Obama t-shirts, hats, buttons, and the like. 

I was especially impressed on the train this morning.  I sat next to a very young Latina from the Barrio, the type of person you’d peg as a potential delinquent, not a potential voter .  Wearing a “Panamanians For Obama!” button. 

One of the things that amazes me most of all about this election is the degree to which young “urban” people of color are getting excited about the political process.  Obviously the Nuyorican vote is not going to sway this election, but it represents a whole generation of young people who are going to be a lot more politicized than stereotypes would indicate.  Which bodes well for this city, if nothing else.

Here in the Philadelphia suburbs, I’ve been seeing more Obama yard signs than McCain ones, but there is one house around here with a huge McCain sign stuck to the front of it.

Here in the San Jose corner of the Bay Area, Obama swag outnumbers McCain so highly I’ve stopped counting; I would guess at least ten or so Obama yard signs/bumper stickers for every one McCain.

The Prop 8 stuff has swung wildly liberal, too; mostly No on 8 signs—I’ve seen two Yes on 8’s so far—with some houses having a Yes on 8 lawn sign altered to read ‘Yes on 8; because I don’t understand the separation of church and state’ or my personal favorite, ‘Yes on 8, because I want to legislate hate’. the amateur poets are getting a kick out of this one, I think.

In my area, Richmond VA, it’s ten to one Obama to McCain signs. Expected since it’s a city of minorities, university professors, young childless white people and gays/lesbians.

In the suburbs its an even split, which is amazing given the fact there were literally NO Kerry signs in the suburbs four years ago.

My Hillsborough (NC) neighborhood has mostly Obama signs (4:1 or so.) When I was driving through town last weekend after voting, I didn’t see a single McCain sign.

4 years ago, my neighborhood had a 50/50 split of Kerry and Bush signs.

Considering I live in Massachusetts, the next town over from a town with a university and two colleges, and 15 miles up the river from the lesbian capital of the world, it’s almost completely Obama.  There’s a couple McCain signs here or there out among the farms, but that’s it.

I live in Baltimore City, which is of course a sea of blue, so there’s Obama signs everywhere and nothing else—I don’t think I’ve actually seen a McCain/Palin sign in the city.

I work in Howard County, which is full of rich people, so you can probably guess what kind of signs I’ve been seeing. What’s really interesting to me is that, out here, all the (three or so) Obama signs I’ve seen have been hand-made; instead of just getting one of the glossy ones from the campaign, these folks do their own on sheets of plywood—*big* sheets of plywood, mostly.

Also, there’s virtually no support for Question 1, which would abolish the state income tax.  There’s “No on 1” signs and bumper stickers everywhere.  Really, no one thinks it’s a good idea.

I live and work in Chicago, so keep that in mind. I see a lot of Obama buttons, signs, bumper stickers, t-shirts, etc. at home, on the train & near work. I see some McCain signs, often on cars. More often than McCain, I see “NOBAMA” signs, but still not too often. I have seen a small but constant amount of Ron Paul signs. Only place I see McKinney paraphernalia is when with peaceniks.

Oddest sign.. saw a black man walking down the street. He had a McCain T-shirt, and it said something kind of belligerent. Something like “Vote McCain or get out”. Something like that.

What’s really interesting to me is that, out here, all the (three or so) Obama signs I’ve seen have been hand-made; instead of just getting one of the glossy ones from the campaign, these folks do their own on sheets of plywood—*big* sheets of plywood, mostly.

There is apparently a shortage of yard signs—almost everyone I know who has a yard wants one and has een told by the campaign folks they talked to that they’re way back ordered.

I’ve decided to take this as a really good sign.

I have yet to see a McCain yard sign here in the north end of Tacoma, an area that’s heavily Democratic.  I’ve seen a few of those little McCain window stickers on cars and there’s one car that parks downtown that’s particularly hilarious:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnmoltz/2924153649/

I had my first Obama car magnet stolen off my car and the magnet on my wife’s car apparently inspired someone to leave a hand-written note on her window that said “Obama = terrorist!  Reverend Wright / William Ayers / God damn America!”

Uh-huh.  Booga-booga.

I’m in Raleigh too and it seems to vary a lot from neighborhood to neighborhood. It’s about 50/50 in my direct area, but it looked like Oakwood was all Obama yesterday when we parked there for the rally. But then my parents are one of only 3 Obama sign-havers in their neighborhood, plus they had some sign stealing problems. But all in all there are tons of signs everywhere.

I’m in a relatively conservative area of Southern California and I’d say it’s about 60-40 Obama out here. I don’t think that’s an indication of a major leftward swing in the local electorate, but Democratic voters—particularly younger ones—are more excited and motivated about their candidate than they every have been and Republicans are correspondingly unenthusiastic. In 04 it was easily 70-30 in favor of Bush/Cheney around my neighborhood. There aren’t a ton of Yes/No on 8 signs, but it’s about a 50-50 split it seems, which is surprising given that it’s a pretty white-bread, conservative city with a lot of prominent evangelical churches.

I’d say it’s about ten to one on yard signs and five to one on bumper stickers in my area of Northern Virginia. I think it would be higher if we hadn’t been ground zero in the “why can’t I get a yard sign” fight for a long time.

I see far more Obama signs in my neighborhood.  There is one duplex with an Obama sign on one side of the shared driveway and a McCain sign on the other.  Awk-ward!

I have noticed one street in which every Obama sign has very clearly been stomped to the ground and straightened back up again by the homeowner because they are all scrunched accordian-style, and one of them was still flattened into the ground when my bus passed by.  Some moron obviously ran all the way up the street and stepped on every single one.

Also, I have seen one “Sarah!” sticker, and this summer I saw one car with a Hillary sticker and one with an Obama logo with a “no” circle-slash.

I’m surprised that in my Arlington, VA neighborhood, it’s about 2 McCain signs to every 3 Obama.

About 8:1 McCain to Obama, but that’s in my neighborhood here in racist, reactionary, right-wing Augusta, GA. A friend from church commented on my Obama button and said she wished she was “brave enough” to wear one but feared what her neighbors would think and being “tarred and feathered.” As a middle-aged white guy that same button (or my Obama 08 tee shirt at the local Y) draws triple takes, glares and some nasty comments from white folks, but has opened some great conversations with local African-American folk.

There are definitely more Obama signs than McCain signs, but there aren’t a huge number of either one.  The thing that really strikes me is that our right-wing Bush-supporting neighbor has had a Ron Paul sign up the entire season and never changed it out for a McCain sign.  I think the Republicans misunderestimated how pissed off some people are at the direction the party’s gone under Bush.

Prop 8 is definitely going to be a squeaker, because even in my liberal part of So Cal, I’ve seen almost equal numbers of No and Yes signs.  Some right next to each other outside the same apartment complex.

What have you seen in your area? Take a stab at the proportion of Obama to McCain signs and stickers.

Excuse me for cribbing Stephen Colbert’s line, but mostly what I’m seeing in my area are For Sale signs.

My neighborhood and adjacent areas just north of downtown St. Petersburg, FL are showing maybe an 80-20 split in the yard sign / bumper sticker department, in favor of Obama. However, once you get north of 38th Avenue and west of 34th Street (on the off chance that someone reading this knows St. Pete geography), it changes quickly, and mid-to-northern Pinellas County seems very McCain-friendly to me.

I just drove about 2-3 miles through a local neighborhood on my way back home from running errands. Here is the count:

Yards with Obama Signs: 19 (including mine)
Yards with McCain Signs: 4
(Ron Paul, 1)

A few notes:
1. this is a blue, blue, blue area so Obama SHOULD be way ahead here. (eastern Fairfax Co, VA)
2. Multiple signs appeared only in Obama yards, as did signs for downticket races (Senate and US House).  Total Democratic signs in 19 yards, over 30 easily.  I have 3 in my yard.
3. The local Democratic organization is well-organized and well-funded.  I don’t know how organized the McCain people are. 
4. If I had taken a different route home I would have driven down a street with bigger, newer homes and the ratio would have been much closer.  But there’s only 2 streets near me I’ve seen with more than 1-2 McCain signs.  And both streets also have a ton of Obama signs so it looks like neighbors are having a sign war.

Our neighborhood had no signs that I had seen until last night. When I got home from work, the kids were out playing as usual, but I noticed that our neighbor across the street had a “Yes on 8” sign in their front yard. I was very disappointed.

Mt Pleasant, SC—Local subdivisions have rules against lawn signage. Public roadsides have a very few standard McPain/Palin signs. No Obama/Biden—but there are many more signs for moderate (and out lesbian) Linda Ketner against wingnut asswipe Henry Brown for First Congressional District.

Ketner’s positions on social issues are quite progressive for SC. She thinks women and gays are people with rights.

Long lines in impoverished North Charleston at the county’s only early-voting station. Anecdotal reports say those lines are mostly of black voters for Obama, many of them voting for the first time (or the first time in a long time).

I’ll be ecstatic if McCain’s probable win in this state is by less then 8 points. Orgasmic if SC turns out to be the only red state on the east coast (unlikely, but possible—some Georgia poll data shows a statistical tie!)

It’s about 4:1 Obama here in Eugene, Oregon. We’re a liberal bastion, and I live in one of the more conservative neighborhoods, so that’s pleasing. Four years ago it was probably 2:1 Bush. I do see more McCain bumber stickers than McCain yard signs though.

Excuse me for cribbing Stephen Colbert’s line, but mostly what I’m seeing in my area are For Sale signs.

I think the most interesting yard in our neighborhood is a house that has a For Sale sign and a McCain/Palin sign. That seems like a bad idea to me - if I were trying to sell my house I wouldn’t risk turning off drive-by’s with a political sign at all, but certainly not a conservative sign in a liberal town.

By the way, after we contributed during the convention, it took seven weeks for the campaign to mail us our yard sign. They told us there was a shortage, and they were going to swing states first.

In Metro Atlanta it depends on where you go. An older neighborhood near where I am is infested with McCain/Palin signs, but the famously liberal city of Decatur is covered with Obama paraphernalia.

I’m in probably the bluest part of Phoenix, and there’s Obama signs everywhere. The other day I saw a sign that said “Tony the Plumber is voting for Obama.”

There’s two houses in my neighborhood that seem to have an R vs. D standoff every election. This year, one house is practically wallpapered in “Teamsters for Obama!” signs, while the neighbor’s house is covered in “Nobama” and “McCain/Palin: God BLESS America.”

I’ve been surprised by the lack of support for McCain I see in his home state. Hardly any posters or stickers until very recently. Even during the primaries, I saw lots of Romney and Paul posters but hardly any McCain. But then, I rarely go out to the vast suburban sprawl, which is where I assume most of his support is coming from.

We’re in a somewhat liberal pocket of Southern California, living in Upland (west edge of San Bernardino County, which is generally deep red) and working in Claremont (east edge of L.A. county).  On the way to work, it’s mostly McCain-Palin (including one guy across the street), with many “Yes on 8” stickers.  Closer to the colleges (where you have more college faculty living) there are lots more Obama and some “No on 8” signs.  The many SUVs, pickup trucks, and minivans tend toward McCain and “Yes on 8” stickers, although almost all the stickers I see on cars (especially hybrids) are for Obama.

We do have a couple of people in our neighborhood with Obama signs (and one “No on 8” down the street), which is a big change from when we first moved here a few years ago and many of the houses still had Bush-Cheney signs out, well after the election.  Still, it’s kind of a scary and disheartening view on the way home.

I’m in Vienna VA, and we’re running about 3/2 in favor of Obama, perhaps a little bit less.

Can I just say, I really like the “Redneck for Obama” sign. I like not feeling frustration with people for no good reason.

I’ve been surprised by the lack of support for McCain I see in his home state. Hardly any posters or stickers until very recently. Even during the primaries, I saw lots of Romney and Paul posters but hardly any McCain.

My parents retired to Fountain Hills for about 15 years, listen to Rush Limbaugh every day, and they HATE McCain.  They really think he’s a RINO and not a real conservative.

That’s been McCain’s dilemma through the entire election:  he had a hard time securing the base because they’re suspicious of him, but his difficulty in getting the base means that he couldn’t make the swing to the center that’s absolutely vital in a general election.

Grand Rapids, MI—Jerry Ford’s old home town, as Republican as anywhere in the country.  Obama signs 4 or 5 to 1 over McCain signs.

Majority Obama signs in the Iowa City / Cedar Rapids area, though I did spot one very interesting pro-McCain sign.

Still, whackaloon expectations aside, that Obama-Marx sign is pretty funny.

Somerville and Cambridge, MA - Honestly, it’s to the point where seeing a McCain sign or bumper sticker makes you do a double take.  I think that, without exaggeration, it’s probably 50-1, Obama/McCain.  But that’s a surprise to no one. I don’t think it accurately represents the political numbers here; I just think that Obama has people so much more excited, and the discrepancy *is* big enough that McCain supporters fear being hassled if they’re more outspoken about it.

In my western Philly ‘burb there are way more Obama signs than McCain signs. The big signs are all McCain, but the volume is all Obama.  My favorite is a house up the street with both a McCain and Obama sign.  As you head up towards the more northern Philly suburbs, the proportion changes to slightly more McCain than Obama.

Down in the blue-collar districts of Ft. Wayne, IN, we’ve got a few Obama signs on our street.  Ours is one of them.  If we head down Broadway and hit the poncey, big-house district, it suddenly changes to McShame signs.  Huh, I wonder why… can’t really tell you the ratio, as I haven’t taken a real count.  I’d say it’s about even.

Someone keeps taking signs from the guy across the street from us.  Last time it happened, he put up a sign saying, “You may have stolen my sign, but I’m still voting for Obama”.

Pennsylvania, northwest of Philly on the edge of red-leaning Berks County. Most of the signs and stickers I’ve seen, until recently, were for McCain/Palin with some bizarre boostering for Jim Gerlach thrown in for good measure—as though the people who posted the signs were trying to remind prospective voters that McCain and Gerlach are both Republicans. This weekend, however, the Obama/Biden signs and stickers started multiplying by leaps and bounds and now outnumber the McCain/Palin signs. It almost feels like it was coordinated.

I’m in the little, liberal oasis that is Austin and most of the signs I’ve seen have been Obama signs, save for the one that Amanda mentioned a while back. There have been a lot of stolen signs everywhere, though.
There was this:
http://www.kxan.com/dpp/news/politics/Woman_paints_lawn_after_sign_is_stolen
I worry about the ozone what with 12 cans of spray paint, but whatever.

On my drive to work, I saw four handmade signs that read “Stolen signs?”, “No Drama”, “Still Voting”, “For Obama!” I thought that was pretty cute.

Outside of the city limits, however, it’s a whole different story.

It’s nearly all Obama/Biden signs in my neighborhood (St. Paul, MN), but the one McCain sign on my block is big enough to flip over and use as an Imax projection screen.

James City County, Virginia—A _lot_ more McCain signs and stickers than I’d like, but we do have a lot of wealthy retirees and a high proportion of those are military retirees.  I’d probably guess it was about 50-50 between Obama and McCain paraphernalia, but that might be wishful thinking; it might be more like 40-60.

Our HOA doesn’t allow yard signs.  Probably for the best.  We’re already the only house without Xmas lights.

Considering I live in Massachusetts, 15 miles up the river from the lesbian capital of the world

What is the lesbian capital of the world?

I’m in quite a liberal area of New York, and I actually see more McCain signs than Obama signs, if I’m estimating right. I think it’s because McCain voters feel the need to announce that they are voting for McCain in a heavily Democratic area, while Obama voters maybe figure it will be sort of assumed if they don’t put up a sign for one side or the other.

I live in a progressive small city in Ga, and Obama’s definitely ahead.  A number of my neighbors have some official-looking yard signs that say:

              Palin
            ******
            What?!

with the astrixes being a sort of decorative name-dividing double-arrow, like one you might use to separate McCain and Palin.

I’ve been surprised by the lack of support for McCain I see in his home state. Hardly any posters or stickers until very recently.

RCP (a very conservative website with a really good electoral map) is showing Arizona as only “leaning” McCain this week, after being “solid” from the beginning.  Far out.

It’s also showing most of the former swing states as either leaning or solid Obama, including my state, Nevada.  What blows me away is which states are currently showing as tossups: MT, ND, IN, MO, NC, FL, and GA. 

Thank you, Howard Dean!  That’s the 50-state strategy at work.  Seriously, North Dakota is a tossup now?  North Carolina?  Freakin’ Georgia?

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/maps/obama_vs_mccain/

The current numbers:  Obama 311, McCain 142, Tossup 85.  So McCain would have to win every current tossup state AND somehow take 43 ev from Obama to reach 270.  Only in Karl Rove’s wildest fantasy is that possible without serious suppression and/or fraudulent vote counting.

Oh, here in Las Vegas, I mostly see Obama stickers and signs, but I live near the university and don’t get around the rest of town much lately.  I still see about as many Ron Paul signs as McCain signs though.

Clark County has a pretty strong Democratic majority, around 60%, while the rest of the state is solid Republican (of the libertarian variety), except for Reno.  But then, Clark County has about 75% of the state’s population.  I’ve been here 9 years and have never seen Democrats as fired up as they are now, nor Republicans as quiet.  The Dem hq here is overflowing with Obama volunteers and still calling for more.  I’ll be putting some time in this weekend for Dina Titus to replace Jon Porter in the US Congress.

Oak Park IL is about 20-1 Obama to McCain yard signs.  It’s not too different than the Kerry-Bush ratio 4 years ago, but then we’re the pinko integrated suburb that white people worry about.

Lancaster County PA, always a deep red stronghold (though Lancaster City is mostly blue).  The white suburbs are rethug strongholds.  Lots of mcsame/caribou barbie signs but at least as many vote blue or Obama signs.  That is surprising.  Don’t get me wrong, I’ll be astonished if the county goes blue but I think we’ll be closer than ever before.

The key to what ends happening here, as everywhere, is getting people to the polls on Tuesday.  It’s one thing to wear a button or put a sticker on your car, it’s another to go to the polls and pull all the right levers.

Around Worcester, Massachusetts, I see about as many McCain signs as Obama signs, but not a whole lot of either.  I always give a thumbs-up to the Obama signs and - well, a different digit to the McCains.
Mind you, I don’t think Worcester is gonna be voting McCain - there just aren’t a lot of signs here.

In my neighborhood in Southside Birmingham, Alabama, it’s Obama signs to the exclusion of any others (although I think I did see one Ron Paul sign somewhere). There is also a metric ton of Obama bumper stickers, many with the “O” covered up with one of Birmingham’s “A blue dot in a very red state” stickers. I think I’ve seen two McCain bumper stickers (one regular one, one “Mc - The Maverick” sticker, ugh), but they were both on moving cars that had probably just come down from Mountain Brook.

My Chicago neighborhood is bright blue with Obama/Biden signs. Even the parts full of grand, rehabbed old mansions (and the occasional teardown McMansion).

My aunt (from MI), on walking to my house: “Oh my god…your rich people are Democrats here! This is wonderful!”

Am I the only Obama fan who wouldn’t mind having that Obama-Marx ‘08 sign?  The caricatures are pretty well-done….

s.

In my little horsey village, just north of Albuquerque, the proportion of yards signs is about 4:1 in favor of Obama.  Lots of “Farmers for Obama” signs.  Several big-ass Obama “Hope” posters.  Even many of the McMansions sport Obama signs.  Bumper stickers throughout the Alb area seem to run around the same proportion, or higher.

There has been sign vandalism and theft, on both sides, I think.  We’ve now got three signs and the one closest to the road is anchored into the ground with rebar, just in case.

They told us there was a shortage, and they were going to swing states first.

Actually, I stole my first sign from public land next to the irrigation ditch.  Yeah.  Shame on me.  Anyway…a month or so back, when my husband went to Obama headquarters, looking for a sign, he was told there weren’t any available in the Albuquerque or Rio Rancho area.  And New Mexico is a swing state.

FlipYrWhig ,
you’re totally right, it seems about 40/60 between the stickers & yard signs…is it me, or are the giant McCain/Palin signs getting a free pass to be in public space? i’m thinking along the Monticello corridor.

ice weasel ,
i have (really conservative) family up there in Lancaster, and they’re horrified at seeing any Obama signs at all. this seems like a good thing.

Here in TN, it’s very McCain heavy. The race hasn’t been very intense here (McCain’s up by double digits) but down towards downtown chattanooga, Obama comes to predominate. Out here in the suburbs, there is a major intersection where a big 4 by 5 Obama McCain sign has been put up twice- and disappeared within days each time. The McCain /Palin sign next to it was vandalized with black spray paint, but its’ still up.

there are a LOT of ron paul signs, esp. out in rural areas.

The really weird thing is, within the last week, i’ve seen two bumper stickers/car window signs (one I think was homemade) just for Sarah Palin. One said PALIN, the other was for “Sarah-cuda”

I haven’t seen a McCain sign in I don’t know how long.  Ah, life in the blue states…

My area is one of the bluest of the blue. Most of the McCain lawn signs I’ve seen around here have been Orthodox Jews’.

Out in Garner, NC (just south of Raleigh), I’ve seen a majority of Obama signs—on the other hand, while early voting the other day, the older gentleman voting next to me said (at a normal conversational volume), “Let’s see… president… McCain” before his wife shushed him.

In Bellevue (east of Seattle), we see a lot of Obama signs, and the next biggest are for Dino Rossi. He’s terrifying.

That’s something I’ve had a hard time understanding.  I mean, I don’t expect people to vote straight Democratic or anything like that, but Rossi’s view towards government is very different from Obama’s, so I don’t get how people could vote for two candidates with such disparate values.

Rossi’s done a good job of sounding moderate, though, and I’m thinking that’s resonated with voters well.

My favorite sticker seen thus far:

Roslin/Adama ‘08

My street:  6 Obama, no McCain

Roe Blvd:  9 Obama, 2 McCain (A KS street with houses about 140K)

75th, Roe to Metcalf—half & half

Plus many, many yards with Democratic & Republican House and Senate candidates, but without a President sign.  I think, from the recent bloom of Obama signs, the HQ must have been out of signs for awhile.
