Will the Romney yard signs last until election day? ---- (they seem to be fading fast)

Getting to run in the morning daylight I got a good look at some of the Romney signs along my route.

The red in the R on many of them are a somewhere between a light pink and a gray. The blue seems to be holding up better but it is fading too.

The Kaine, Allen, Powell, and Cantor signs look just as bright as they ever have. There aren't a lot of Obama signs (we are using a recycled one from 2008) because the campaign is selling them instead of giving them away - very hard to find at any of the offices around here.

The Romney signs must have been made very cheaply.

Conservatives will support their candidate no matter what (for better or worse, and most of the time for the worse). Just slap a lil' R next to their name, and a chimpanzee could run for office, and you'd see signs out.

He's a nice, older guy who raises delicious tomatoes and builds race car engines. But, we don't talk politics.

I'm in one of the reddest counties in Georgia and I can well remember all the "W" signs and bumper stickers and all the McCain-Palin signs and bumper stickers. But in all my travels in our county I have seen JUST ONE R-money yard sign. People here are not at all enthusiastic about R-money.
