CHAPEL HILL, NC - After Shawn Turschak saw two sets of McCain-Palin signs disappear from his yard within hours of being planted, he took steps to protect the latest pair.
On Monday, he ran wires from his house and hooked the signs into a power source for an electric pet fence. Then he mounted a surveillance camera in a nearby tree and wired it to a digital recorder.
Tuesday afternoon, the camera saw this: A neighbor trotting up with an Obama-Biden sign, grabbing a handful of volts as he touched a McCain-Palin sign, then fleeing at top 9-year-old boy speed.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Re: Sign battle starts with a zzzzzzzt!
One of the nice things about living in a state that's already decided is that the sign clutter this time around has been amazingly sparse. Heck, we've had mayoral elections that have cluttered up yards more than this year's slate. 99% of what signs there are around here are for the county elections.....
I have seen a trickle of Obama signs, and I swear I have not seen a McCain sign yet....
