OWENSBORO, KY (WFIE) - Someone is cutting the Palin out of the McCain-Palin campaign signs in Western Kentucky.

With less than a month to go in the campaign season, tensions are starting to reach a boiling point in Owensboro after a series of vandalized campaign signs.

Stealing or vandalizing political signs is not uncommon during election season, but what makes this case unique is that someone actually took the time to cut out the name of Sarah Palin.

"In campaigns we're all used to these types of things happening but I've never seen just one name cut out of a sign before," said Robin Mercer of the Daviess County Republican Party.

"It just seems kind of odd that they're taking the time, going through the trouble of just surgically removing part of the sign and it takes some time to do that," said Tom Turner whose sign was vandalized.

:rofl:

1. You think it is Dems or disgruntled Repubs?

I hope it isn't someone from our side. I could see where some GOP types wouldn't like Palin and want her name off the signs, though.

3. I'd think it would be a disgruntled repub...why else leave the McCain?

2. A McCain /Palin sign here was surgically altered almost as soon as it was put up.

First time I saw it, it already said

M AIN
PA IN.

It stayed up for several days, too, in a very red county. Then one day I drove by and all the signs that had been in that spot were gone.

4. Was her photo on the signs? Maybe Joe 6-pack intends to wallpaper his house with his

Caribou Barbie?

10. surgically removing parts?

12. I don't really get it.

:shrug:

Two years ago there was a pub name of Bass running for congress in my state. Blue signs, orange letters. Someone was going around with blue paint, painting over the "B". Now that, was pretty damn funny.

13. I'm so tempted to do the same...

to the 20 McCain-Palin signs that lines my street. But I'll refrain - I'm going to show class, like Obama/Biden.
