Here in Virginia, we have a hotly contested Senate race underway between incumbent George Allen and challenger Jim Webb. Emotions run high, as evidenced by this enormous sign displayed down the street and around the corner from our home.
Someone has too much time on their hands.

Is that razor wire on the border of the sign???
Or is it twinkle lights?
Sounds like our state's governor's race.
Maybe it's actually the person who lives behind the sign who took it down - especially if it flashes garishly when they're trying to sleep/watch TV. Maybe they're not pro-whoever, maybe they just don't like their lives invaded by inconsiderate politicians.
i cannot WAIT for this election to come. i am so tired of the phone calls, the commercials, the signs, the flyers.

I have a "Webb For Senate" Sign in my front yard.
If someone were to steal it, they had better hope like hell I never find out, because a serious beating and a criminal charge would follow.
VA is a werid state for politics, ain't it? NC is, I don't know, kind of apolitical so far to me. Not at all like living in CT, in which many many peoples got all hot and bothered at every election. Would that it were that way down here...
LOL sam, no not razor wire but that would be a good deterrent to sign theft.
The only daughter got it right: it's twinkle lights. The extension cord runs to the house about 100 yards behind the sign. creepylesbo (interesting name!), the sign doesn't face any houses. I can't imagine the lights bothering anyone.
GF, are the Allen/Webb signs fairly equally distributed in your neighborhood?
weese, I'm with you. I want it over and done. We get a double dose of politics living so close to DC, tiff makes NC sound like a nice refuge.
eb, sure it can get worse. I don't even have to flex my imagination much to envision it.
Tiff, how long have you been here (NC) and what part; I ask only so maybe I can relocate there. Southern politics are alive and well here in my Carolina hometown; of course, the hostility is projected with polite surface decorum. But don't be fooled; the deep seeded anomosity runs like a polite river through it, complete with mudslinging, backstabbing, and undermining.
The pre-taped phone calls from local politicians clogging my voice mail are driving me insane.
What I love is how it lights up at night.
My friend and I were driving by and saw it. I immedietely thought of you!
At least it sounds like your politics are a lot more interesting than ours...
(yeah, blogger fixed the beta no-beta thang. happy happy.)
"GF, are the Allen/Webb signs fairly equally distributed in your neighborhood?
Can you believe it? I am the only person on my entire street with a sign in the yard.
there is one guy up the street from me, Chuck, who has a W sticker on his car, and
I know that he votes a straight Republican line (straight Republican... get it?).
I counter his Republicanism with my Howard Dean sticker, and my "Veterans For Jim Webb" sticker.
That's hilarious -- and really sad. It just shows what we all know -- nothing is fair and done by the book in politics. It's all about cheating!
Margaret Cho called our house the other day.
George Allen is a doofus. How any one can vote for him is beyond me. Worse, he's still being considered for President in 2008. Has the country not yet figured out that when a doofus occupies the White House, everyone suffers?
I live in PA and have been getting tons of calls to vote for Santorum, when I told the last caller that I wouldn't vote for him, he mocked me—repeating what I said in a snide, childish manner before hanging up on me. WTF is up with these people?
Someone with way too much time, but it is sort of funny
