Anyone else got about 10 times as many Ron Paul signs as actual Ron Paul VOTERS in their town?

5. Some dude was putting up spraypainted ones all over saying "Google Ron Paul"
My guess is, people did, and found out that he's anti-choice, anti-separation of church and state, and wants to eliminate the FDA.

4. on the catholic church lot, Target store
anywhere they aren't legally supposed to be. I don't know how it works in other states but here in Wisconsin you are supposed to get the owners permission. They just plunk the signs in and if management likes them they just fain ignorance if they are supporters they can get around to throwing them out.

8. Paul is the only one I've seen any signs for here
However, he probably has a decent-sized following here; he's popular with college-age wingnuts and there are plenty of them in this college town. There are also plenty of "angry white males" here, and it's not too far away from his Congressional district, either. I still doubt he'll win the primary in this county, though, although he might actually be able to beat Romney at least. haha

9. Yes, that was the phenomena here
In my polling place when the precinct worker asked the couple in front of me whether they wanted a Democratic or Republican ballot both said "we want Ron Paul ballots!" The Paul campaign also had the entire side of a building painted with a Ron Paul for President message across the street from the University at which I work. Lots of passion but no votes seems to be a theme with the Paulites.
