I'm sure there are THOUSANDS of people who will go into the polls with the complete intent to vote for Mitt Romney, but upon seeing that poster, they will completely change their minds and vote for Obama!
I'm not planning on voting for Obama, but I know that if I see a poster of him when I go to vote, I will have no choice but to do so.
If nothing else, it is the principle of the thing. This is not the only example, I caught another one on TV, forget just where it was.

1) Barack Obama being president really is an inspiration to the children who attend, and,
2) Everybody coming through to vote lives in a neighborhood where people seeing each other on the street remind each other all day long to be sure to vote, and all know who each other are voting for.
Oh no!!! Oh no!!!

If only this hadn't happened, Romney would have surely taken New Jersey.
