Oh dear -- from apartment solutions into the quagmire of politics -- please proceed with caution!

we have 5 side-by-side windows that are floor to ceiling and since we look out over a traffic circle. When the time comes closer we are going to use them to spell O B A M A for the whole world to see. i must wait till october though...

i should really proof-read my comments before i submit...

Please no unborn fetuses in windows, please!

yikes

Not meaning to be the bubble-burster, but my three year old godson has already mastered the art of paper window decorating.

And I thought I could escape the political race on this website. Wishful thinking.

i'm with guttersnipe-

Please AT - - don't go there.

I'm planning to burn McCain's name into the grass on my front lawn come October!

just kidding. there's so much on this site--no need to linger on posts you don't find appealing.

Ick.

I have a security service sticker in my window. May we please have a post on those?

"It's cool how we can use _______ to speak out to others about our political opinions"

Yeah, because we don't have enough outlets for that already.

I don't see why people are so bothered by this post...I think its great! If someone wants to place their support for something and display it on their window in an artsy way, then all the FREEDOM to him/her.

There's a brownstone on Park Place in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn with the faces of Carter, Nixon, and someone else I could never figure out, over the lintels(?) of its 1st floor windows. I wonder if I have a photo of it around here somewhere...

Political crap in windows. Yeah, real novel design concept there. I would have never thought of that had I not seen it on AT.

Would be better with another shot of a McCain house. So it doesn't seem to one-sided.

Why are people so afraid of politics? Afraid of being a good citizen or something?

Seriously. We should be PLEASED for opportunities to participate in democracy.

political stuff in the windows, as anti-design as you can get regina. i say take it to the streets, create a scene in union square, and make politics a living thing not a yellowing dusty sign in a 3rd floor window.

At my old house I had a sticker next to the door saying my home was a queer positive space. During elections I'd put up election posters for Canada's NDP party. I few years ago at my work my boss suggested the office bulletin board was getting crowded with my various political postings (tehe).

looks like a beautiful house

Why are people so foolish about politics??
This is a nice post about how people decorate their windows with their fav polititians.
NO ONE is asking if you love/hate Obama or McCain.

Get over it people. If you don't like the post, then GET THEE TO ANOTHER. Stop trying to make things miserable for the rest.

Regardless of the candidate, I don't like political posters.

This post had nothing to do with design or "participating in politics." The window display isn't creative, pretty, or well executed. There are no pics or discussion of other candidates.

The post is a pretty blatant plug for Obama. It even includes a link to the Obamessiah's homepage.

As for just "moving on" if we don't like the post, I doubt anyone would find that the appropriate response if AT writers decided to use posts to pimp for rightwing candidates or issues.
