		<description>&lt;p&gt;We are visiting our sons in Toledo, home of the Plumber Mr. Joseph Wurzelbacher (That&#039;s right!  Call him MISTER!).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Toledo is home to the worst of the Democrat union mentality and has elected the pro-abortion, pseudo-Catholic, and anti-business Marcy Kaptur to Congress for over 20 years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My neighborhood, with modest 50-year old houses under $100,000, has hardly any political signs!  Some streets have none whatsoever.  A few Obama signs here and there to be sure, but even the local union hall has a curiosity: its sign for Big Brobama is small and visible from only one direction.  On the top of the building and visible from all directions is a sign for a local Dem for city council. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The house of the brother of a Dem state representative: no signs!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is in contrast to the upper-middle/upper class area I haunt in Columbus, where sign wars began back in the summer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Possible conclusions: since everyone is a Dem, they  see no reason to hassle with a sign, because they are (over)confident about a win.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But then where is the new energy and excitement Big Brobama supposedly has generated among Dems?  Shot in the foot by that over-confidence?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Or...maybe a good number are not all that thrilled with Big Brobama, hence no excitement, hence no signs?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Or...maybe a good number might vote for McCain...quietly, to avoid being hassled by the union bosses or any pro Big Brobama neighbors?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We shall see!&lt;/p&gt;
