But like I said NO Obama signs in my neighborhood. I think my neighborhood is probably more Republican than Democratic, but there are at least 7 or 8 of us that drive a Prius, there are two Jewish families that I know of, and a few ethnic minorities here (they display no signs)...Not that all Prius owners, Jewish people, or minorities are lock, stock Democrats, but the diversity of my neighborhood tells me there are Obama supporters here, but no signs. I think we're all opting to let the two knuckleheads with McCain signs enjoy their time.
Outside of my neighborhood in the town of Warrenton, you get a lot more Obama signs as you get into "old Town" Warrenton, this is an area typically more Liberal anyway. These are people who live within walking distance to just about everything (though my area is as well), are living in older, but very nice homes.
I see cars and trucks and I would say in this area FEWER people have sticks in totality than Kerry/Bush 2004. There are fewer Obamas than Kerry stickers, but also fewer McCain than Bush stickers. My thought on that is the Obama people (such as me) are just worried to put a sticker on our car (I had Kerry stickers, but no Obama stickers)...but I am still as passionate for Obama as Kerry (though I REALLY REALLY liked John). And I think the former Bush people are either not happy with it and don't care as much or maybe some have moved to our side (and NO REPUB will ever put a Dem sticker on their car, but they may vote for them).
I did have a meeting with a mother of two of my kids friends. It was soon after Palin was nominated. (You wont believe this). I had been watching CSPAN all day, and my wife and this lady comes home from going out for a glass of wine. My wife happens to mention to me, "so are you still watching all this Sarah Palin stuff?"
This lady jumps right in and comes over and goes, "ohh...you like Sarah Palin...I have my Palin hairdo"...YES, that is actually what she said. My response was, "actually no i dont"...and that was the end of it. I was NOT going to patronize her, but I wasn't going to get into a verbal war with her either.
Virginia is a stealth state...I don't know if we REALLY KNOW what the polls will say come election day.
