I don’t post anecdotes from readers about voting/enthusiasm/yard signs, etc. too often, because I think it’s easy to read too much into them. But this one caught my eye:

On Sunday a strange car was parked down the street when I returned from some errands with a big Obama sign in the rear window. As I pulled into my driveway I saw a young 20something walking back with an armful of yard signs… He’d been canvassing the neighborhood, and evidently couldn’t give the signs away…
My neighborhood may not be representative of the whole of Virginia: lots of military, retired military, NASA engineers, etc. Middle to upper middle class, little homeowners association nobody likes. But it is representative of the Yorktown-Newport News-Hampton area, with all the defense jobs. I think at least the area around here will go red.

Obviously, this depends greatly on the neighborhood; Newport News is 39 percent African-American, Norfolk is 44 percent African-American, Hampton is 44 percent African-American, and York County is 13 percent African-American.
