I think that pretty much everyone has made up their minds and all these signs do is to annoy people that support the other candidate. When someone sees a sign for the candidate that they oppose I believe that their thought is, "How and anyone support that idiot. We have a lot of stupid people around here."
I'm not taking sides and I don't think that this post is political. I am just putting forth the viewpoint that the only people these signs benefit is that people that make and sell signs.

Good post. The same goes for trying to put up a little cross or Star of David or a POW-MIA flag or any color of bow or other such symbol. Or even a football team sign. It lets people know where your interests lie, and if they disagree they can avoid you, and if they agree they can come over and watch the game or the service with you. They primarily serve to separate rather than to draw us together.
Actually, even flying our nation’s flag can alienate some people and draw others. (I’m flying one out back, in case you wondered.)
