ok, i've got lots of hits on this one, so obviously people are looking...is it too much of a niche market or is are there design/aesthetic reasons that people won't buy my Obama signs?

I like the look of it. Should one worry about being rear-ended by a republican? Now there is a loaded question! Anyway me too, no baby, no US plates but I do know a 6 week old baby who wears the cutest Obama onesie, so I've emailed the listing to her mama...good luck with it. I say I still see about 1 a week or so but just generic signs

FrankandRox your republican rear ending thing is funny...and kinda scary! thanks for your feedback everybody...as for mountain vintage's comment:
"People should realize the original intent of the baby on board sign is so that in the event of an emergency, law enforcement and emergency responders will know you have a baby in the car."
I totally agree, but i feel like we are sort of zoned out to the importance of these signs because they all look alike. i guess i figured that if i made something a little more catchy and unusual it would really make you look. i consider the fact that the message of BABY ON BOARD needs to be very clear and visible in my design, this is the most important thing about the sign, before the cute or political stuff.
As for not aligning my baby with political causes, well i understand the uneasiness about this...i won't get into that discussion about that, but there was an interesting article about this in Mothering magazine about 4 issues back, for anyone interested in the debate.
so thanks again for the feedback, a lot to think about as i continue to pursue my BABY ON BOARD designer sign career!!

Maybe since Obama voted FOR the PARTIAL BIRTH abortion. And then voted again to deny the baby who SURVIVED the abortion any medical attention and just allow them to die??? That would be my guess.
Your other signs are cute, though.

No babies here, but, I would hesitate to advertise my political preference in a state where the govenor explained on the news that in this state gun control means you hit what you aim at......shiver!!!
