I don’t know if they do anything, but I know when I see an Obama yard sign or a bumpersticker, I feel irritated. I’ve got the signs in my yard, and stickers on my truck to just pi$$ off the leftist hordes. Plus I get lots of dirty looks when I pull into Starbucks. Commie rage makes my coffee taste better.
I don’t know about everyone else,
but I’m always curious about what kind of kook is driving the car with the 0bama sticker on it. I’ll get next to them to take a peek.
Usually a young kid.

I’ve been doing the same thing for years. LOL
I live in NJ, so I’ll tell you what I see when I pull up for a peek.
Large percentage = Bearded, bespectacled “I’m the intellectual, professor type and I read the NY Times every day”
Smaller percentage = Unattractive women, I have yet to see a good looking woman with a dem bumper sticker this election season.
Smallest percentage = Kids
For what it's worth, I've read the same thing, a few years ago.
In the recesses of my mind I envision getting a bouquet of leftist stickers and putting them on news vans when I see them parked.
You sir, are a genius.

My house and yard are not expensive, but well kept.
There is 1 0bama yard sign in my neighborhood - and no kidding - his lawn and yard are the worst in the neighborhood.
In the Kansas City area, it’s the other way around.
More kids, fewer “academics”.
“I don’t know about everyone else,

I do the same. Usually a butch woman or young prep.
Where I lived most of my voting life one fears for ones life displaying a bumper sticker or yard sign not approved by the central committee and their brownshirts. If I put out a sign in San Francisco I have no doubt that I would suffer property damage at the very least. I would also expect to be approached outside my door by stalkers waiting all day at my front door to confront me and possibly physically attack me. I like my car and can’t afford to replace it or my tires so I don’t do bumper stickers. Supporting the GOP in San Francisco has to be a private matter that you don’t even tell your neighbors about. To understand you have to imagine being a Christian in an Arab country or a Jew in Nazi Germany in the late 30s. San Francisco leftists are as radical as they get with a Mayor and city council to support them. I know what freedom is after being fearful all my life as I now enjoy it in Southern California after moving from the bay area.
Good question. Because my children (ages 5 and 2) have so many friends in the neighborhood, I am not interested in talking politics with their parents. We all seem to have similar values or interests when it comes to our families, but I know most if not all of them are voting democrat.

I forgot to add, I still have a toddler in diapers, I my go that route.
The slow start for for McCain is the Obama people did not need to wait for a VP. However I don't know any Republican that wanted to put up a McCain sign without the Palin name on it. And those McCain Palin signs are hard to come by in many states. Swing States come first don't you know.
I am driving 100 miles round trip to pick up 2 signs on Tuesday. They are that hard to get here in WA.
In my neighborhood I have seen 2 houses with Obama signs. Right after the RNC, one of those came down and the person put up a Clinton/Gore 96 sign in its place. PUMA?
AND THE BEST REASON TO PUT A PALIN STICKER ON YOUR CAR: CHICK MAGNENT
I got my bumper stickers early from cafepress. One McCain/Palin and the other “Sarah-Cuda”. So far I have got 2 dirty looks from lefties. And from Women passing me I got about 6 nods with friendly smiles. Uhhhh but don't tell my wife, OK?
Nah! Just a lonely Meta-Proctologist!
BTW, I’ll bet the teenage boys who WILL be vandalizing my signs, will be getting the poison ivy in more places than just their hands! Rhymes with hands, though!
LOL. ...that a fact, huh?
“In the recesses of my mind I envision getting a bouquet of leftist stickers and putting them on news vans when I see them parked.”
That is funny! Would be mighty fitting!
Boosting morale is important in political campaigns because people tend to support a winner and work harder when an election seems close and winnable, as suggested by visible levels of support for a candidate.
In addition, yard signs are a form of personal endorsement that can sway people who know the homeowner. Declared adherents of a candidate — meaning people with yards signs or whose views are otherwise known — are often consulted by undecideds on issues and as to reasons to vote one way or the other.
Finally, declared adherents often serve as an informal point of contact with a campaign by passing out literature, yard signs, and bumper strips, recruiting volunteers, and raising money. Even when a declared adherent simply explains how to help a campaign, they serve to recruit new help.
