Political Signs in Portsmouth, NH 10-24-07

I think I like Portsmouth. Go Ron Paul!

The only sign I've seen around here is the Kucinich sign that's been up since the last election!

I haven't seen any in my area! I don't htink they vote!! :(

Very interesting. I like to see what's out there in my neighborhood, too. But I don't think I could get much of a count on the city. During the 2004 presidential election, Kerry/Edwards signs were all over my neighborhood, but somone I work with said they only saw Bush/Cheney--such a difference in the part of town you are in.

These candidates seem to be ones that stand out from the crowd and have less big money backing and staff , excepting Obama.

names listed above aint got a prayer,there all way behind as of right now and i doubt itll change

least i wouldnt vote for any of the names listed above,lol

Chick, I bet you still have your Nixon sign up, huh?

interesting....I don't think I saw any signs up in people's yards when I was in Iowa...the only ones I saw were leading up the drive to Hillary's talk.

Kind of easy way to take a little poll.

keep us informed on you informal survey!

Keep us updated on emerging developments.....

Now you will have us looking, Chick! Was that your idea? My wife and I remembered seeing a couple Hillary signs but no others that we remember. Our city has about 110,000. Not much out yet! Actually, when I saw a Hillary sign, I was wondering what the optimum time would be to set out a sign. If you set it out too early, would it bug people too much?

Colonel George W. -- Ron Paul is hitting our area with a mail/radio blitz.

J.K. -- There is a guy down the street that has a Kerry/Edwards sign for the last four years. ( He just changed it to Edwards.)

Ana S. -- They are just shy about saying who they want. (I hope.)

Susan E. -- But the last two elections there were signs everywhere. (Here in Portsmouth.)

Clarke M. -- But you would think these big campaigns would having people put signs out. We do have campaign headquarters for all the candidates.

Christopher K. -- Do you have sign or have a choice yet?

Pepsie J -- Yes I do, Nixon/Lodge sign!

Cheri Cabot -- Did you see any bumper stickers either? So far I have seen one. Obama.

Jane C. -- Will do.

Bruce B. -- Did you noticed any the last two elections?

Hmm, interesting! Thanks for sharing and posting comments!
vote for my photo, help my dreams come true!

What's wrong with Nixon - lol ;)

I have seen an Obama bumper sticker and my wife just put Hillary on her's. Yes, I do notice a lot of yard signs every election! We try to limit our yard to 5. I like to save the sticks and wire from the signs for marking rows and tying up plants in my garden. Not that my garden is perfectly ordered. It is more of diverse, somewhat disorganized yet productive Democratic type of garden.

I miss all those signs. My daughter say it is because too many people are told to keep their opinions to themselves. Just look at the people who get slammed in the news. The latest is a 12 year old boy for speaking his mind. I think it is not alot of people have made up their minds yet.

Chick: Thank you! You've given me a great idea. We may not get much traffic through here, but neighbors, right. I am getting a sign to put up in my yard:

****************OBAMA FOR AMERICA**************

kudos!
we are an army of Obama followers.
We shall follow him all the way!
Any other Democratic nominee?
Won't get our vote; we'll write Obama's name in.

I have had it with this politics-as-usual.
Any other candidates can take that and stuff it.
That may not be Obama's message,
but it's growing amongst his followers --
NOT WITH OUR VOTE YOU WON'T!!!

I am leaning towards Obama myself but with more people with your attitude, politics will be a better place.

If I do go with Obama, may I copy your sign? I just love it.

On my way to the gym today I saw 3 Hillary signs and no others! I will keep looking. I really am thinking that a lot of Iowans are going to wait until the last minute!

I have now seen a total of 6 Hillary signs and none from anyone else! (Cedar Rapids, Iowa). I admit, I don't drive more than I have to. (And drive a small, fuel efficient car)

I just saw my first two Hillary signs. Both were extremely huge. About 6 feet by 4 feet. One was in front of a business, the other was on a person's front yard. It took half the yard it seems.

The signs are starting to go up here in Ohio, but like up there the overwhelming majority of them are local and not national.

There are signs all over here, Chick.

I just saw my first two Hillary signs. Both were extremely huge.

So the signs resemble the candidate.......interesting

The article is entertaining but I don't think the presence of a candidate's signs is anything close to an accurate barometer of what will happen in the actual election.

Most people that vote don't actually put signs in thier yards or on the side of the road.

I'm voting for Romney but would never put a Romney sign in my yard for fear of some petty, purile, heathen, leftist moonbat bastard would come onto my property and vandalize it.

I would never personally do that to someone with a Hillary sign in their yard. I'd find it much more rewarding to stand outside their home the day after she loses the election with a big grin on my face.

Romney's going to be our next president. I've been saying it for months now. Doubt me now......compliment me on my ability to read the political tea leaves come Nov 2008 people.

Dana . It just over the years there were signs everywhere. Now very few. But I will keep your prediction and remember to tease you or compliment you.

So far I haven't pick anyone yet. (Leaning towards Obama.) The waters are still to murky. I can't see a candidate for either party yet. I expect some surprise in the Iowa and NH votes.

Why do you support Obama Chick?

I would never support him because he is a run of the mill liberal who has voted in congress to allow illegals to receive social security benefits. Also it seems like he has missed a ton of votes like this latest vote on Iran. Not only does he conveniently miss these important votes but he then proceeds to lecture other people on the evils of the way in which they themselves voted. Such as his attacking Hillary on her Iran vote. I hate Hillary with a burning compassion but at least she had the balls to check in vote one way or the other...unlike your boy Barack who stayed away and then began running his mouth.

I don't think they're murky at all on either side Chick. The Clintons obviously still own the Dem party so Hillary has that side all sewn up. Mccain was long ago thrown under the bus by the GOP, Guiliani is too f-ing liberal and won't do well in the ealry primaries thereby ending his candidacy and Fred Thompson is a now show. Romney is experienced, charismatic, good looking and will do very well in both the Iowa caucus and NH primary thereby creating the snowball affect that will lead to his winning the GOP nod.

What is Romney's foreign policy experience?

Dana? What is Romney's foreign policy experience?

Maybe the answer is blank.

I am leaning toward Obama because of one word.

Hope.

I saw a Ron Paul sign just up! So far nothing else except a few Hillary signs.

Dana, I know signs aren't necessarily a good prediction but it is interesting to see what goes up. I am leaning toward Obama because I believe that he internalized what his mother taught him. She often asked him, "How would that make you feel?" So he feels he learned empathy from her and I do believe he tries hard to see things from the view point of others. I believe that this will help him bring people together to find solutions.
