Pollity poll poll

[doc_strange]

A lot people are reporting the obviously partisan removal of political signs in MA with the upcoming election. I recall a lot of sign shenanigans around these parts in the 2008 elections. I'm curious about my readers and their general take on such things. So, a POLL!

*trumpets*

Open to all. Specifics private to encourage a little more honesty on the gnarlier questions.

[Poll #1509021]
Please do discuss your take on your answers, the questions, and what you think about such acts and so on. Keep it polite!

During the Obama campaign, the neighbors across the street from us had McCain signs; we had Obama signs. Both faced the main road, and pretty much faced one another. One morning we woke to find our sign gone. With some amusement, we noticed the neighbor's sign was gone also.

My wife called the police to report it, and was asked "unofficially" which side our sign had supported. They were keeping an office poll to see who was winning in the sign-stealing contests. ;-) At the time of our call (mid-October 2008), it was about 50-50.

After the *second* sign was stolen, my wife hand-painted a sign *inside* the window, saying "Republicans for Voldemort". We had people stopping to take pictures...

It seems reasonable to ask officially which side your sign supports - after all, they might find your stolen property abandoned somewhere after the thief finishes his joy-ride. Oh, look, there it is in the window of the local Democratic headquarters - you'd think they wouldn't post their ill-gotten prize out there for everyone to see.
