Seriously, people, these are yard sign wars. You should not have two signs, for different candidates running against each other. Your family should argue in private, decide on one or the other, and put up one sign. Putting up two signs does nothing, and wastes signs that more decisive households could use.
Yes, we know, they're both wonderful candidates. But that's not what yard sign wars are all about. They were supposed to be about name recognition, but anyone who doesn't know whose running by now is ignorant (if you can't pronounce the name, that's justifiable. but you should know something, by now). So the next thing is an implied endorsement. I believe in this person, and I ain't afraid to let my neighbors know. You like me, think I'm a reasonable person, give my guy a look, yes?
And that's reasonable too. But people who have both of them up, and I've seen two in this city... You are doing it wrong.
Let me end this diary with a thank you to everyone who donated their Obama signs back to the campaign. Most of the signs I see are recycled (blacked out voting dates, or duct taped).
And thanks for all the creativity, Obama supporters you make me smile.
