They must have done a really great job of coloring between the lines. The signs I saw looked EXACTLY like the official McCain/Palin signs. Where does it say the signs were hand-lettered? Or do reporters in general just like making stuff up to support their story?
Watch the linked video. 40 seconds in someone holds up a McCain sign. Sure doesn't look like hand-lettering to me!

The t-shorts were there too. Along with a large McCain sign.
If you saw the t-shirts, you must have seen the sign(?)
I saw the McCain sign too, but there was still an overwhelming number of Plain signs in that photo like mentioned in the story. And as I mentioned before the clip I saw on my local news showed a shot of the crowd (in the hanger) and there looked to be hundreds of signs that said McCain/Palin. Those must be some dedicated voters to color all those signs in their spare time!
This just in... I watched the second video on the link which featured Obama. The majority of people at his rally were holding up signs that said "Change We Need!" OMFG, what a shocker! I bet the people that held up "Obama/Biden" signs must have made those at home with construction paper and crayons. I should be a reporter. This is big news.
