Buyer's Remorse


I have conducted an informal survey by driving to and from work. By Thursday afternoon the campaign signs for the state and local candidate and with one exception, Obama signs, had dissappeared from lawns and houses along the streets I take to and from work.
However, there are still seven McCain signs up.

The bumperstickers and home made signs (even a few pictures of Obama) are off, and out of , the cars. But again, McCain supporter still have their stickers adorning their cars.
Now this is a very unscienctific survey done on a roughly 10 mile stretch of roads in a heavily Republican county.
But one thing I realized over the years is that the losers' signs tend to disappear a lot faster than the winners'. People like to brag about having won and when they back a winner they leave the sign up a few extra days. Some real phoneys go and buy bumperstickers after the election so they to can be popular in their own mind.
Now I don't think anyone really has buyer's remorse yet. After all what has Obama done besides appoint a social retard as his Chief of Staff and two financial retards to his economic advisory board. Plus nominate an enviro-nazi who wants to shut off all sources of electricty as his EPA chief. And is considering the person who contributed most to 9-11 outside of Al-Qaeda as his Attorney General... she gets bonus points as she was the Vice Chair of Fannie Mae and, along with Franklin Raines, raided the company in a $10 billion accounting scandal.
In every other election the signs have remained up longer than a day or two. Why the conspicuous disappearance now?
Just asking.
