And that's going back to earlier this year. I know he has a lot of supporters here and will carry the state by a massive margin, but I see more Obama supporters out and about.

One on a car with a Coto de Caza license frame (Home of the Housewives of Orange County) the other driven by a lady who looked like a cross of Issa and Boehner, pursed lips, just nasty.

Haven't been back there for a while but it doesn't surprise me.

Have you noticed that OC doesn't usually have a lot of political advertising/lawn signs until maybe the last weeks before a major election? Even then there's not much, at least not in south county.

But flags? Oh they love their flags.

15. I will try to find my picture for 2008!

And up until then I agree with you. In 08 I had two Obama/Biden signs in my postage stamp front yard, an Californians for Obama t shirt on the inflatable skeleton Harley rider, and another Obama/Biden sign taped to an eight foot Frankenstein, when inflated he was holding the sign. I ended getting up three request for Obama signs so I made a trip down to Laguna and picked up three more for neighbors.

This year I have a new right wing neighbor who I am guessing will put up a Romney sign. A DUer posted a Cantor sign that someone taped a For Sale sign above. So you know what I will be doing to his sign. (Am sure he will pay me back too)

5. I'm in a VERY red area in a blue state (CA) and I haven't seen a thing

Many on the Right don't love him and probably don't even like him--but they will be voting for him just because they can't stand having that black Kenyan/terrorist/socialist/commie/whatever in the White House.

Did I mention that the Dem candidate is black?

I do see an occasional Ron Paul sign though. One house even has a big Ron Paul banner on the front porch!

8. Same deal with Facebook 'memes' and signs. I have not seen a single pro-Romney one.

I have only seen anti-Obama signs of varying degrees of sanity.

9. Alot of Obama or Obama-Biden signs starting to pop up in yards

I think people saved them from before and pulled them out again. Believe it or not, alot of the folks in my area actually kept the signs up in their yard for a very very long time after the 2008 election... It was almost as if the signs had become a big yell of OBAMA! with an "echo" that lasted for over 2 years for many folks... At least until we had those 2 terrible winters in a row and they finally took them down. I had never seen anything like it. Also seeing new-looking Obama stickers - some may have been from 2008 but only now stuck on the cars. No Rmoneys yet thank goodness.

Southwest Fl. town only a few t-shirts, and no signs. But a surprising number of R.Paul yard signs, and even a few GWB bumper stickers.

16. Not many, but lots of anti-Obama crap.

Which is weird, because I'm surrounded by Mormons (Four Corners). Maybe they don't do bumperstickers.

I see many anti-Obama stickers like stop Obamacare, Nobama, etc., but not much advertising on the pro-romney side. Even here in the elitist part of the OC.
