Well, we've got what, four days till the election? I ain't seen one Hillary tabler, nor anyone going around actually putting these signs UP, but they're there, until they blow away. And it's Pittsburgh, so even if it's sunny, they do blow away.
Hillary's people, it seems to me, can't find enough volunteers to give their posters to. So now they are defacing public property. Mailboxes, telephone polls, traffic light polls.
The latest thing is the "Young Professionals for Hillary" signs, offering free food tonight somewhere in East Liberty -- to go listen with a Star Speaker from Fox News. Yes, that looks so exciting. On the other hand, there is free food. And I do like some chow.
Obama's had tablers down at the University of Pittsburgh (not that I saw a single one at CMU), more than once, advertising some homebrew events that I'm practically sure no one from pitt showed up to (unless they live over that way).
Now he's got tablers up giving out free buttons (I got one, might be worth something someday). And there's someone out there for Clean Water Action, and another for AFL-CIO (with jobs that pay double what I made as a canvasser. go AFL-CIO! Honest pay for honest work! -- also, thanks for the free candy).
And there's a SEIU for Obama shirt-wearing person around East Liberty that I saw today.
They took down the sign for Obama on the boarded up autodealership (say they're putting in a bank or something).
Overall, the city seems pretty strongly for Obama, at least where I've been walking, which is 14th ward.
As for me? I gotta pin, it lives on my backpack. you see me, you honk, okay?
Oh, and as for putting up three layer deep bumper stickers on our poles? That was funny the first time kids, stop it.
[update on best yard signs]
To date, i have noticed at least one yard with both Obama and Clinton Yard Signs. I think that person has missed the point of the yard signs.
Also, there's one person who has both a Ron Paul sign and an Obama sign in his window, and above them, there's a ?!. I don't know what's up with that.
And the person with the white on black vote for Obama sign, that isn't capitalized? That's illegible from a moving vehicle.
