How about your neighborhood???
« on: October 30, 2008, 05:15:21 PM »
Living in a small rural town in Nebraska, most voters tend to be on the red side of the map.  Here in "Tiny Town", I've not seen one McCain/Palin poster in a front yard, only one for Obama, much to my disgust in the school's superintent's yard.  In the county seat I've only see about three McCain, and a half dozen Obama posters.  We went to Lincoln today, the state capital, and drove alot around town, nada on the McCain posters, and only a few Obama.  Makes me wonder if McCain is in real finanical trouble and doesn't have the money to close the deal...

I live in NC and have a hard time even buying the line that this is a swing state. There are McCain/Palin yard signs and bumperstickers everywhere. Very few Obama signs.

In my area which is usually heavily RED, there are lots of McCain/Palin yard signs.  What really bothers me is there seems to be just as many bHo signs and the local bHo office is charging $5 for them.  There does seem to be plenty of support for the local Red candidates, but I'm nervous.  The guy running against my congressman is a left over 60's radical from NY by way of Philly.  I listened to him and the local blue state rep canidate speak awhile ago, know your enemy.  I could barely force myself to stay in the room untill I could ask a gun control question.  Couldn't get a clear answer from the guy, but I would bet a paycheck he would vote for any anti gun measure.  These people are frightening.  By the way,according to those canidates we shouldn't invest in oil, nuclear power, or in defense, that money should be invested in the people.  Also, business don't mind paying taxes.

they keep telling me PA is for Hobo. Don't really see it here, NE PA - even with the influx of Cidiots.
Anti: I think some of you gentleman would choose to apply a gun shaped remedy to any problem or potential problem that presented itself? Your reverance (sic) for firearms is maintained with an almost religious zeal. The mind boggles! it really does...

Me: Naw, we just apply a gun-shaped remedy to those extreme life threatening situations that call for it. All the less urgent problems we're willing to discuss.

My neighborhood is very conservative, about every 10th house has a sign, and mostly for state and local candidates, of the presidential signs, 9 -1, Mc Cain/Palin.

Kentucky, of course, is a very conservative state, so the majority of people support McCain.  Things are probably different in Louisville and to some extent Lexington, but the rest of us seem to have our heads out of the sand.  There are a few idiots (Obamaites) in my area but they are far and away out numbered.  God, I love this state.

Around this part of Kansas, I see more b-ho signs than McCain's.  :( Most people I have talked to say they are for McCain though. Of course this a college town and we all know the longer you are in "Higher Education", the less you know about the real world!

I'm still trying hard to convince the unbelievers!

All of the soccer moms here in suburbia are sporting McCain/Palin stickers on their cars.  The only B-HO signs I've seen around here were at the polling place.  ::)
