Sign of the Times

I live way out in the country. Well, actually I live about 20 minutes out in the country, but there are lots of farms around us. On my way home there is one in particular with a large white barn very close to the road. During election season, the people who live there like to hang huge political banners and statements on the broadside of this barn, which I think is really cool even though nearly all of them are contrary to whom and what I would be in favor of.

So, since it's getting close to that time of year, I've decided it would be fun to place bets on when the first sign goes up. My guess is sometime soon after the political conventions take place, say around Labor Day. Frankly I'm a little surprised they haven't put up one yet, as it seems the campaigns have been running forEVer already, but maybe they're holding off for a specific reason.

There's no point in betting on which candidate they'll support, however, as that is a sure thing. (I'll give you one hint: it's not Obama.)
