Sign wars

Jonathan and I have both gotten a lot of email about the perennial election year sport of stealing the other side's lawn signs.

Also, some creative defenses, as in the West Georgia (above) and North Carolina pictures of Obama signs here.

My Georgia correspondent writes, "People are now covering their signs in roofing glue or dog poop, almost hoping that someone will try to grab one. One guy I know is working to run an electric current through his sign. I, on the other hand, have placed a note on my sign, warning anyone that every sign they steal will be replaced by a new sign, thereby making another 8$ contribution to the Obama campaign."

Jonathan's Virginia reader, defending McCain-Palin signs, meanwhile, writes that he covered his in "doe menstrual urine that I found at Wal-Mart."
