Lawndale Street in Wilmette is alive with Halloween decorations. One house has full sized figures of politicians, very scary. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are seen having a debate. Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Ex-Governor Rod Blagojevich are seen with a witch between them holding a sign saying, "Witch Chicago Poliitician do you like?" A life-sized Clint Eastwood greets visitors with an empty chair. There are lots of pumpkins, lights, and a "dead voter" headstone. Happy Halloween.
The theme includes "Who will be president in 2012" with Barack Obama on the left and Mitt Romney on the right. These are life-sized figures with rubber masks that appear real especially at night. Obama is seen with a huge teleprompter that reads, "You didn't build this". Romney is seen holding a big bird doll in his right hand and in his left hand are binders of women. SEE PICS TO THE RIGHT.
On the other side of the yard is the Chicago side with Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Ex-governor Rod Blagojevich (second lawn appearance). They have a blow up witch between them holding a sign that reads, "Witch Chicago Politician do you like?". The governor is holding a large hairbrush and the Mayor appears to holding a "dead fish", who knows why. Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan is seen behind the Mayor.
Back for the eleventh year in a row, is the grave headstone of an active dead Chicago voter, which reads vote early and vote often.

The weather has been windy so the figures are blowing around, in fact Romney has been leaning left and Obama has been trying to move more to the middle of the yard, I don't know what to make of it. NO SIGN OF JOE BIDEN OR PAUL RYAN.
This yard is very scary, republican or democrat, you will be scared. By the way, election day is just six days after Halloween 2012.
