It was when my neighborhood figured out I was political. :-) I sent you the picture of when there were two rows, we then went to three and a few more in the windows.

Take US 6 through Willoughby Hills. There's a nutbar who lives just before the Chagrin River bridge going eastbound. He has festooned the area around the highway where his driveway ends with a myriad of pro-Palin and McCain signs but the most prominent among his signs (and they've been up for months) is "I'm a bitter gun owner and I vote." There's a certain air of viciousness in the whole display as if he's daring passersby to disagree with him at their peril. Not as bad as some of the TV ads I'm seeing. There's a new one I'm seeing from "The Committee For Truth in Politics" that I've seen several times this evening that all but accuses Obama of murdering live children. The backdrop of the ad is video of adorable infants. The woman reading the ad says the following: Senator Obama, why did you vote against protecting infants that survived late term abortions? Not once, but four times. Even Congress unanimously supported protections identical to those you blocked in Illinois. The Supreme Court upheld the ban on partial birth abortions, and yet today you keep working to roll back this law. Call Senator Obama tell him to stop trying to overturn these basic human rights. The Committee for Truth in Politics is responsible for the contents in this advertising.

And we still have one Ron Paul sign.

I have not seen any of those re: No McCain and I hadn't seen or seen referenced the WKYC article either - you are so good. Very interesting. Yeah - it was just how I felt/what I thought as I passed it going to and from the shlep. Just looked weird to me but maybe that's because seeing multiple signs in any yard near my house has been the exception until...this year! lol In fact, one of my kids asked me if I was sorry I'd gotten that ordinance changed because about five houses away is a house with two McCain signs and another with three Josh Mandels. :) For the record, we have no yard signs up. Yet. I'm on the fence with them. Thank you! I have not seen any of those re: No McCain and I hadn’t seen or seen referenced the WKYC article either – you are so good. Very interesting.
