Just finished a 2,400 mile, 7 day road trip through California, Oregon and Washington. Saw overwhelming support for Romney on signs, placards and billboards throughout all three states.

None for obama. None. Not one sign, not one placard, not one billboard anywhere to be seen for obama...not a single one. Bumper stickers? 5 to 1 for Romney.

My favorite billboard? "VOTE FOR THE AMERICAN".

The emperor has no clothes (AKA - an empty chair).

It looks like normal people are outraged with the direction of the country and are not holding back their feelings.

If I was an obama supporter I'd be embarrassed too and wouldn't publically expose my ignorance either.

2   edvard2   2012 Oct 8, 12:52pm  

Funny... I live in California and I've seen maybe 2-3 Romney signs total. BTW, Romney has zero chance of winning any of those states...

3   Patrick   2012 Oct 8, 12:54pm  

Yes, it seems to depend on where you live. I see only Obama signs, no Romney signs. But then I'm in the Bay Area.

4   edvard2   2012 Oct 8, 1:15pm  

But why are seeing Romney signs in those 3 states even matter? There's no way in hell Romney will win those states, so why even mention it? Romney signs in some of the bluest states in the country? So what. I'm sure there are Obama signs in Alabama too...

OBAMA HAS BEEN A FAILURE ON ALL FRONTS. HE'S EVEN HURT THE VERY PEOPLE HE CLAIMS TO HAVE HELPED. DO AMERICA A FAVOR AND VOTE HIM OUT.

Obama is a failure so vote for Romney (Mr. Chickenhawk)? Thanks but no thanks. I'll take the lesser of two evils.

vandalism of any Romney-Ryan signs are fairly common, pretty much across the nation.

I'm sure I could do two separate bike rides, one through Baltimore city where I might only see one or two Romney signs and many Obama signs,and another bike ride through Baltimore and Anne Arundel County where I'll only see Romney signs, and maybe one Obama sign.

10   country_stroll   2012 Oct 9, 12:41am  

Living in LA, I see few if any Obama bumper stickers. I remember in 2008, just about every other car had an Obama/Biden sticker on it. I guess all those bumper stickers were traded in with their cars in Cash-for-Clunkers. The new cars must be too nice to sully with the name of a failed president.

Conservatives are energized by the malfeasance of the past four years, liberals are not. Steve Jobs, Steve Wynn, Donald Trump and millions of other real job creators have pointed out the ugly truth. obama is a jobs destroyer, not a jobs creator.

"O" must go. Vote his sorry a$$ out...all the way back to Chicago...where he belongs.

It's a shame Blogovitch didn't reach up and grab Obama's arm and bring him down the Toilet with him, when he was flushed down the drain.
I think know what we know now, more Americans would have demanded a closer look at the relationship between Blogo and Obama, and questioned whether or not he acted alone.

Correct.
However the intent was to get your intention, which was successful.

They both are the product of your country.
They both want what's good for your country.
Interesting how you label them "evil"...when they both have good intentions.

I assume intention=attention. But moving on, there is a big difference between positive and negative attention.

The anger is again misdirected by the elite. I still haven't decided who I will vote for, but I don't want to jump on the "my team" bandwagon.

20   American in Japan   2012 Oct 12, 8:10pm  

I am curious, though how the Federal Reserve would change under Romney...

The 6 Studies Paul Ryan Cited Prove Mitt Romney's Tax Plan Is Impossible

22   Tenpoundbass   2012 Oct 13, 1:27am  

I think the better question would be who would best replace Ben Bernanke and what should that person do differently?

I think the best thing would be raising the interest rate.
While it can be argued that higher interest rates creates inflation. There's some real reason to believe that Interest rates can be too low.

I think that banks and investment brokerage should be split up.
Banks should give loans and pay savers, investment firms should have less regulation, and the public be more educated on the products they sale, for the risk that they are. If the Government can't understand the financial vehicles those firms create, then they have no right to legislate them. Though I'm sure if these people were made to at least explain them in writing better, to their consumer, then maybe they could hire someone to explain it to them in lay terms.

There's not a single person with a retirement plan that includes a cash savings plan of some sort. Everyone is tied up in companies in a time where the average lifespan of a company is 16 years tops. Those that do last loner, do so by mergers and selling the company.

We've been listening to those calling for the destruction of the dollar for to long. There's just not enough hard assets to go around
Gold, Real Estate, a few Monopolies spread out across all industry vertices.

It is small business and competition in every industry that creates value in the dollar. With out them, the dollar is worth less. With out savers making safe guaranteed reruns from saving. With the lack of willing lenders. The harder it is for small business to even happen.

The banks that focus more on investing, it is against their own self interest to give loans to competing entities, of the companies they are invested in.

Sort of gives you a pretty clear idea of the quality and nature of Obama's voter base.

John Bailo says

I know it sounds impossible...but I recently saw an electoral map where Oregon had shifted from solid blue to light blue...or likely support.

Now if Oregon is questioning the Democrat orthodoxy just a wee bit...anything could happen...even a late break of Californians, who may see their interests aligning with Republicans again.

Both Oregon and Washington state are divided by the cascades into a lightly populated very red state conservative eastern half and a liberal blue state western half where the bulk of the people live. I can't see how Portland, Salem, Eugene which is where 80% of the population of Oregon lives, would have shifted to likely support light blue. These are some of the most liberal, granola eating, birkenstock wearing places in the country. Someone didn't do their homework when they drew the map.

Romney has alteady said that he wants to get rid of Berneke.

27   Honest Abe   2012 Oct 15, 4:31am  

God I hope so. France, as you may know, is proposing to ban the words "father" and "mother" to be replaced with Parent 1 and Parent 2.

That sounds warm, loving, and nurturing, right? Liberals (and socialists and communists) want to destroy the family. Nothing new here, same old slop.

28   Tenpoundbass   2012 Oct 15, 6:28am

want to destroy the family.

With out a single doubt in my mind.

29   gbenson   2012 Oct 15, 7:02am  

I saw this title and thought it was referring to the number of outright lies told in the last debate.

Us libs don't have to beat our chests and put up signs. We are intelligent enough that we don't need to be TOLD who to vote for.

Well actually you do, and it helps if you can get an American company to allow you to hijack their iconic brand Logo, to give it some hip cred to the young voters, that cast their votes based on the getting laid factor.

Face it having an Obama/Biden sticker on your Prius just doesn't have that "OOMPH" that it had 4 years ago. I'd wager most voters from 2008 would feel utterly ridiculous with it now.

31   Honest Abe   2012 Oct 15, 8:02am  

Utterly ridiculous...and betrayed.

And I can easily make the assertion that Romney voters vandalize Obama signs. Sort of gives a pretty clear idea of the quality and the nature of the posts here when no one can back up their assertions accurately.

33   Honest Abe   2012 Oct 15, 9:37am  

I can accurately assert my friends car antenna was broken off and apparently used as a whip to hit a Ron Paul sticker on the side of his car because the indentation on the fender matched the shape of the broken antenna which was left behind.

Mertens v Wolfeboro Nat. Bank determined: "It is the duty of one who volunteers information to another not having equal knowledge, with the intention that he will act upon it, to exercise reasonable care to verify the truth of his statements before making them".

34   michaelsch   2012 Oct 16, 6:12am  

There is one overwhelming reason why no sane American should vote for Romney. Look at such polls. It clearly proves Romney is not running for American Presidency, but for Foreign interests.

http://www.jpost.com/USPresidentialrace/Article.aspx?id=287697

Voting for Romney means voting against America being an independent nation.

http://www.haaretz.com/news/u-s-elections-2012/adelson-american-jews-shouldn-t-trust-obama-on-israel-1.469644

Abe, today being honest means voting against Romney!

35   gbenson   2012 Oct 16, 7:00am  

Anyone voting for Romney, please come see me.. I have a bridge to sell you.

The gullibility of the American public, particularly ones with a republican bent, is astounding. And the fact that the press now stands there and lets people blatantly lie and not question it in fear that their advertising dollars will dry up. Who knew the movie Idiocracy will wind up being non-fiction.

Obummer should do the honorable thing and withdraw from the election. Its that simple. Vote for the American.

37   gbenson   2012 Oct 16, 8:13am  

I am voting for the American (Obama). He much more closely represents the principles this country was founded upon. Republican's represent the oligarchy and theocracy the immigrants to this country thought they had left behind.

38   Honest Abe   2012 Oct 16, 9:41am  

Benson, right on, comrade! Obama represents nothing this country was founded upon...that's because he rejects the constitution, freedom, liberty, the rule of law, privacy, private property, personal responsibility, personal initiative, personal sovereignty, success, and sound money.

Here are some bumper stickers of obama constituents:
