This is an interesting turn of events!

the signs for candidates that people put in their yard... I always notice them because there are so few this year.. But the interesting thing.. some of the Sanders signs are coming down and being replaced with Warren signs. (I would be a lot happier if they were Biden signs, but it is what it is) ..

Not a lot of Biden signs up.. 1 Buttigieg ..1 Klobachar. 1 Yang..

This must not be the year of the signs.. so anyone else seeing a lot of signs??

But I have heard many people who previously were undecided but l leaning Sanders because they like his message, to now say they support Warren. I expect to see more of that in coming months.

But I also expect the Biden support to remain steady and increase as well.

so we do see signs.. It will be interesting to see if signs are as plentiful during the actual election period. Hubby and I have a totally unproven theory that signs are going the way of the DODO bird. I have this great Biden sign from 2008 when our son was his Precinct Captain, and it was on his table during the sign in for caucus, we brought it home, and in 2012 when VP Biden was in Sioux City campaigning for the 2nd Obama/Biden ticket, I took it to the rally and he signed it for us.. When he gets elected I am going to take it back to a rally and see if he will sign it again. It has a lot of neat memories. Oh by the way..Hubby and I were in for Obama in 2008 at the same caucus our son was the PC for Biden.. rofl..
