Emmy – I too have seen 3 large Obama signs in case you want more areas to photograph :)

One was on Route 11 on the right side when I was heading towards Harrisonburg from Bridgewater.

One is by Quizno’s.

One is a large professional one like the one you’re describing, and it was on the right side going from Harrisonburg to Massanutten on 33. I think it said “Obama-Biden for Better Education”.

Point well made Sister Mary Deb.
Thank you.

I cast mine yesterday. Care to wager how I voted?

I guess I take the minority view here. As an election judge over at Stone Spring, I want the process of voting and counting ballots to be efficient and completely unimpeachable.

Once inside the polling place, the process is what’s important. Particularly this year, with feelings running extremely high, the outcome needs to be squeaky clean. In my opinion, there’s a duty and responsibility we all have to ensure an accurate, fair outcome. We all need to make sure that the minutes we spend in the polling place casting our ballot are free and clear of even the mildest persuasion, much less nasty kinds of intimidation. When I help a voter, I really don’t want – or care- to know who they are voting for. And neither do my repub colleagues working alongside me.

Leave the campaigning outside the polling place itself. Put up a zillion signs in the parking lot, hand out a gagillion sample ballots, wear as much partisan regalia as you can afford. But leave all persuasion campaigning 40 feet from the door.

So sayeth the very , very partisan Sister Mary Deb, who is going to cast her absentee ballot in about a half an hour. ;-)
