Samizdat
We got a bit tired of running the gaunlet of "Obama" yard signs to get to our house, so I bought four McCain signs last week and put them up in my yard this morning.
We have a lot shaped like a slice of pie, with outwardly curving frontage. The signs are positioned at intervals as the road bends, so passersby are never out of sight of one of the signs. I kill me.
In Princeton this might be an act of social courage. I have not seen a single McCain sign in this town, where there is no shortage of Obamamania, and several drivers did double-takes as they passed the property today. That said, my son just reported that a "lady" pulled into our driveway because she "just wanted to say how great it was to see a McCain sign in Princeton."
Tweak your own neighbors, and give succor to the secret conservatives in your midst. Buy a sign for yourself here. They are only $7.

Love the stone on your house.
My guess is that your neighbors are too civilized to trash the signs. Or too paralyzed with shock to do anything. You mean that there are people in my neighborhood who are not good-thinkers?

That green stuff actually isn't lawn. It is worse than that -- mulch with grass growing through it. We need to toss on some more mulch, but we are waiting because we are going to do some landscaping there.

I live in the liberal la-la-land of Los Angeles. Sticking a McCain sign on my lawn (if I had a lawn) would probably get me tried for heresy.
Or worse, banned from my local Pete's Coffee.
A bumpersticker on the car may be coming, however, just to tweak all the Obamatons who crowd their bumpers with various sanctimonious Lefty stickers. :)

I've seen plenty of leftists who aren't too civilized to refrain from destroying or defacing Republican signs.

I'll pass on the McCain signs. My house sits up in the trees where no one can see it. If I put a sign down by the road, there are probably 5 people a day that would drive by and see it, and they are all likely voting for McCain anyway. That's life in a sparsely populated area.
