The quantity of yard signs, campaign signs spread throughout rural counties, can be very misleading. I was working in NH four years ago, and was convinced based upon the overwhelming advantage in signage, canvassing supporters, etc. that Kerry would easily win the state. As we now know, it was a real squeaker.
(Generally) agreed.
Yesterday, I saw ~150 yard signs in total in Seattle, and am now willing to predict that John McCain will receive a crushing defeat at the hands of Ralph Nader and Socialist Workers candidate Roger Calero.
Yard signs = not a representative sample
