Answered on 22nd October 2008:

One of the most frustrating things about politics is spin--I find I seldom believe any of the speeches, ads, policies put forth..it's hard to find hard facts and not opinions about facts. So, as a committed waffler and skeptic, I do not have signs, bumper stickers etc, and am a bit skeptical of the whole concept (oooh, great logo, i'm voting for you!). I mean couldn't all the money and resources be put to far better use than advertising??? I have trouble understanding how people can wholeheartedly buy into a candidate to the point that they are decorating their property with endorsements.
