I would have paid for one, but I will not attempt to get another one.

Rob is right. That’s one of the first things you learn in campaign management – signs are nothing more than for the people that want to display them. It really doesn’t say much about the voter’s intensity level either. I can tell you that there are a few factors affecting the lack of Obama signs in Salem/Roanoke – first, the Obama campaign has not been very aggressive with giving them out. You have to ask for them. Same deal up here in my “communist” (according to John McCain’s brother) enclave of Arlington. We have twice as many McCain signs in my neighborhood even though we all know he’ll be flattened. Another thing about Salem and Roanoke though – I believe alot of white folks that plan on voting for him when they get in the booth (regardless of what they tell their friends and family) are a little embarrassed/unnerved about making their support public. In all likelihood, if they do support Obama, you probably won’t hear about it.
