Naperville in Red DuPage....Turning Blue, Slowly

Today was another gorgeous day in Chicago, with temperatures in the seventies. I went out to run this morning, and for the first time ever, took my cell phone with me on my run. This was not because I wanted to be 'connected' while running, but I wanted to take some pictures of the election-related signs dotting the landscape.

While I did see a large number of McPalin signs, there were about 2 Obama/Biden signs for every 3 McPalin ones. This is quite decent for this place.
