I miss the political signs. In my country, if you are not descended from kings you can't even run for poltical office. Those signs were a daily reminder to me that anything is possible here in the U.S.

If I remember correctly, each one of those signs that are left up after Election Day are counted and the person they represent are fined for each one.

I noticed it too.

But I'm sure the weekend before the election it's going to seem like we got carpet bombed with signs.

A lot less signs on the roads, way more mailings and a lot better ads. I can't wait till the last week or so.

Sick of more robo calls then ever. It doesn't help your party, even your most faithful of voters. That's one law perhaps Repubs and Dems could get along on.

Who still has a land line? And who answers calls with the caller-id listing "BLOCKED"???

Even my senile father has finally learned not to answer any calls from "BLOCKED"

Oh, and the two "laws" both parties are able to get along on is Citizens United and McCain Feingold (because McCain-Feingold makes it harder for individuals and Citizen United makes it easier for corporations)
