Since you are good at finding yard signs I have a challenge for you, I want you to find the elusive Mitt Romney yard sign in this area. There has been rumors of some supporters in the area but all attempts to find one has failed. I have seen many pictures of them but after further investigation they were all photo shopped. I am offering a $5 reward for proof they exist in the Schenectady area, the proof needs to consist of a photo and the location so I can further investigate your findings. So how about it Alias are you up for it
Here is a picture of what one may look like, it may not be 100% as this is just a drawing of eye witness accounts

.................well Henry, if it really does exist I'll prob'ly never find it..............unless it's over here in my 'hood......................I rarely venture out beyond these days................................but ya better be careful, 'cause I might just print one out and put it up over here just so I can grab the "fin"..............
And why would people be putting up signs 4 months before the election?

Nobody said it would be easy, some say it might be damned near impossible to find one. Yeah printing one doesn't count sorry, it must be an official campaign sign that was paid for by a supporter

hmmmm, not sure, I'll have to see if I find what it says in the town code.........................I know last year they sprouted day after labor day.............and even if the law does say that the weasels never pay attention to it
A. The Town Board of the Town of Rotterdam has determined that the unrestricted proliferation of political signs throughout the Town of Rotterdam can be aesthetically detrimental to the environment, may be distractive to motorists and thereby create a traffic hazard and may contribute to littering of public and private property when not timely removed. The purpose of this section is to preclude these undesirable consequences by placing reasonable restrictions on the placement and erection of political signs.
B. For purposes of this section, a "political sign" is any sign which bears the name and/or political party of a candidate or candidates for public office. "Public office" includes federal, state, county, city, town, village and school district offices.
C. No person shall place or erect a political sign on any property owned by the federal government, State of New York, the Town of Rotterdam, New York, or any other municipality, special Town water or sewer district or school district, including the paved and unpaved rights-of-way of roadways, located in the Town of Rotterdam, New York.
D. No candidate shall place or cause to be placed or erect a political sign exceeding two feet by four feet in size on any privately owned property situate in an RA, R-1, R-2 or R-3 residential zoning district as enumerated in § 270-6 of this Code. The post or supporting standard shall not be considered in computing the aforesaid size limitation. It is the presumption of this section that all signs erected on the above-referred-to residential property have been so erected by the candidate whose name appears on said sign and with the permission of the owner of said property. Said sign shall be the sole responsibility of the candidate whose name appears on said sign including the duties, obligations and penalties as provided for in this section.
E. No signs shall be placed on the sides of overpass or underpass vehicular bridges or railroad bridges, on poles carrying utility lines, traffic signals, streetlights or telephone lines and on direction or traffic signs.
F. No signs shall be erected or placed as to obstruct or impair vision at any road intersection or the entrance to and exit from private driveways.
G. Political signs shall not be erected or placed earlier than September 1 of the year of the primary and general election for the candidate named on the sign and shall be removed within 14 days after the election. It shall be the responsibility of the person erecting or placing the sign to cause its removal.

§ 270-151.1. Political signs. G. Political signs shall not be erected or placed earlier than September 1 of the year of the primary and general election for the candidate named on the sign and shall be removed within 14 days after the election. It shall be the responsibility of the person erecting or placing the sign to cause its removal.

Sorry, RP, that sign is disqualified for 2 reasons... A. It's photoshopped, too clean edges on the sign, when everything else is crooked. B. The sign isn't in Rotterdam, it's just before the border, which if I'm seeing the picture right, means it's in Scotia.
Maybe I'll buy a sign and put it up jusg to win the bet. How much do they run?
Over the months I seen Obama signs, many Paul signs, and a single Santorum sign, the Romney sign is a hard one to spot, for someone who supposedly won the nomination and many primaries you would have thought they would be all around
