Yard Signs in deep blue MA

Four years ago I don't think I saw a single Bush '04 yard sign. Not a big surprise given that the Bay State was never (seriously) considered in play. It probably isn't in play this year either, yet I have seen tons of McCain-Palin signs. Noticeably more than Obama-Biden signs.

Maybe 04 wasn't all that typical: After all, Mass Senator Kerry was at the top of the ballot and local pride goes a long way. Other things could be in play as well. Hillary Clinton won the Democratic primary here by a lot, as did Mitt Romney on the R side.

Everything seems pretty civil so far. All the signs I have made note of are still standing--none defaced. This is how it should be.
