Eerie feeling driving through red neighborhood.
The neighborhood I work in is generally red, even though I HAVE seen Obama signs and stickers here and there. Four years ago, it was littered with Bush/Cheney and W'04 crap. Now there are FOR SALE signs at a lot of those same houses. I wonder whether these people were forced into foreclosure, or just moving because the neighborhood is now too blue for them.

You make the call.

3. My neighborhood is red and last time Bush sign were all over the place. But this time around not
even 1 sign for McLame. There are Obama signs with no text and people smile at those who have it.

6. oddly no signs around here
Edited on Wed Sep-17-08 06:06 PM by CountAllVotes
not a one mind you. I've noted a lot of obvious puke signs in the past. I have seen one or two Obama signs however on the road and in the other town nearby.

It is very odd given the fact there is a PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION in just a few weeks.

It is eerie, yes - I agree!!

8. yes, a few
but not too many yet anyway.

I live in a rather stagnant rural area I might add.

11. i think most republicans who are staying that way this time
are voting in secret not shouting it out like last time. They are down and know it.
