paid for anonymously of course.

Was also saddened that, while driving, I started reflecting about growing up in South GA and attended college at FSU. I was really appreciating the lovely autumn day and the greenness of the area and thinking I could live here again. And then they started - Romney/Ryan signs - one after another, totally disrupting the beautiful scene. No Obama signs at all to ease my sad, tired eyes.

It used to be very blue. Tallahassee is my hometown even though I now live in Arkansas. It will be back to blue once again, hopefully soon! Remember Governor/Senator Bob Graham? I believe it's those self interest serving preachers telling people to vote Republicans, brainwash them into thinking democrats are evil. My relatives used to be democrats, but now all of a sudden they're now voting republicans. It's crazy! Sad, too.

I was actually thinking I could retire here. I love the area and Tallahassee seems like a very liveable town.

Signs running 3 or 4 to 1 for Obama, but we are a regional college town.

I live in north Texas, very red. I saw one Romney/Ryan sign, There are about 1200 homes here and it's 90% republican. I think a lot of the repubs here just don't like Romney, but they'll llikely vote for him since they are sheep.

That is 60 houses on one street, all valued well past $1M.

No Romney signs, but there are plenty of 'pubs on my street. They're just not putting out any signs.

and our local headquarters did not give out signs because the campaign has decided to put the money into a ground game. If you are not seeing that many signs then this could be the reason for it.
