I find this interesting. This is the first time in recent history that the first name of a VP candidate appears as the lead on a campaign sign.
Does anyone remember ever seeing "Al!" signs for Clinton/Gore or "George!" signs for Reagan/Bush?
I find it funny that the Republicans were bitching about Obama the celebrity and then went out and found one of their own.
BTW, I think this sign design is new because the neighbor had a McCain/Palin sign up until a few days ago.
Technically, these yard signs are illegal according to our homeowners association bylaws. I argued the case in one of our committees years ago that they should be allowed and there was a verbal decision made to allow them. Unfortunately, it may still be technically a violation and my wife is the President of the association, so I feel I need things to be clearer in order to respond with my own Obama sign.
