Subject: RE: BS: Will Obama Win???
We have three signs. One is left over from the primary, one we ordered from the Obama people, and we had to wait for about two months for that one, and the third one was made by some local volunteers in Georgia (I think it was Georgia) who JtS met in a Walmart parking lot, and they gave it to him. There's a lot of people who want signs and haven't been able to get them or have had to wait a long time. There is definitely a huge demand for them. We know this because we have been in communication with the Obama organization about it. And then there is the problem of people stealing the signs once they're put up.

I have no idea what the absence of McCain signs signifies. I guess the way to find out would be to try to get one and see how easy or difficult it is.

Either way, I don't think one can accurately predict the outcome of this election based on the number of signs one sees for either candidate. Ron Paul has the most number of signs of any candidate, and look what happened to his campaign.
