Homemade Obama signs

I wrote about this Election Night -- the phenomenon of so many hand-made Obama signs in East Baltimore and West Baltimore. I've never seen anything like it. It certainly reflects the level of enthusiasm for Obama, and it speaks to the high demand for the campaign-issued blue signs commonly seen elsewhere. I saw plenty of lawns with the latter in Baltimore and neighboring counties. Some homes had three and even four Obama signs while obviously some places in the city went begging for one. Obviously, the Obama campaigned should have spread its wealth of signage around. (Though it was great to see the homemade ones.)
