Here in Houston, the signs are out in full force.

The malefactors of great wealth in River Oaks and Tanglewood have Romney/Ryan signs outside the gates of their mansions.

The haute bourgeoisie of Midtown and the Outer Loop have Obama yard signs and stickers on their Priuses and Volvo station wagons.

The petite bourgeoisie of the outer loop suburbs have festooned their yards and SUVs with Romney swag.

And the pitchfork-wielding peasants in outlying areas have restricted the decor of their decade-old pickups and domestic cars to badly-designed anti-Obama stickers from CafePress.

Literally none, other than a Romney/Ryan sign erected by the state GOP in the middle of town.

Saw 2 Gary Johnson signs and a bumper sticker, a good bunch of Obama signs and increasing numbers of Romney signs. Maybe 3-4 Mack signs, no Nelson signs. 2 Ehrlich (Congress) signs, numerous Young signs. Several Jeff Brandes (State Senate) signs, mostly leftover from the primary (he has no opponent). Lots of Dwight Dudley/Frank Farkas signs (State House). Saw an "I Stand With Israel" sign once. There's a handful of Clark/Stern signs (school board) and lots of Bostock, Brickfield, Justice, and Long signs (County Commission/fluoride stuff).

For every 10 Romney signs I saw, there's at least 2-5 Obama signs.  Around Jefferson county, I see tons of Romney signs and a few Obama signs. Even in Denver county, there's quite a few Romney signs in the Hispanic neighborhoods and more ritzy areas.

Like BRTD said, lots of Vote No (on the marriage amendment) signs.  And T-shirts too.

There are plenty of Obama signs (25+), signs for Charlie Hales or Jefferson Smith and a healthy smattering of signs in support of a school bond. I've seen one Romney sign and it has been defaced. Welcome to Portland.

In Pearland, TX it's mostly Romney/Ryan on the Eastern Side and Obama/Biden on the newer middle class Western part.

In Houston, TX, it's mostly Obama/Biden where I am, but Romney/Ryan's are in River Oaks, Bellaire, Westchase, and Memorial. Everywhere else Obama/Biden.  

Nacogdoches, TX - Romney Ryan signs are almost everywhere that if you were from another demension and dropped here and saw Romney/Ryan signs everywhere you'd think he was running unopposed.

There are a few Romney signs and basically no Obama signs.

Most of the yard signs around Fargo are either for Heitkamp or Berg.

I live on a college campus, so i dont see many signs. Back home though in Beckley, WV I've seen a lot more Mitt signs then Obama. (in 2008 I saw more Obama then McCain).

Almost uniformly Warren signs with reference to Obama/Biden.

ELIZABETH
WARREN
FOR SENATE
OBAMA/BIDEN

is the usual format. A few Brown signs out by the interstate, but the interstate is in Northampton, so...so still not very many.

I finally saw a Presidential election sign!

An Obama one - though I suspect it's because someone said earlier, this state's a gimme so the signs probably aren't free.

Absolutely none that are actually in a yard, but that has more to do with the fact that my area is dominated by HOAs that won't allow them.

So far this campaign I've seen one Romney sign and none for Obama.  This is my first election here in Nevada after moving from Ohio, so I was surprised to see such a lack of signs despite also being a swing state.

What about your area?

This.  My next door neighbor has it in his yard.  That's it.

My block in Cleveland has about eight for Obama. There would be more but probably more than half of residents are renters, so some don't want to put things in the yard. Probably won't see a Romney one for miles. A typical block has about 2 or so for Obama.
