"For the second time in less than a week, someone has vandalized political signs in Lake County.Last Friday, Mitt Romney for President signs were stolen and burned.The other side took a hit Thursday, with Barack Obama signs on U.S. 441 near Leesburg being the target of the vandalism.\"It's illegal, it's unpatriotic and it's un-American,\" said Nancy Hurlbert of the Lake County Democratic Party.Hurlbert said she has had to repair an Obama sign on the road near Mt. Dora after someone knocked it down, ran it over and spray-painted it.\"I have worked in politics for decades and I have never seen meanness, and downright nastiness, as we have experienced in this campaign. Unbelievable,\" said Hurlbert.Hurlbert said a number of signs have also been stolen.\"We have literally distributed 2,500 Obama signs but you won't find 2,500 because they've all been stolen,\" said Hurlbert.Nearby, someone took Romney signs from the front yard of attorney Judy Stewart's office.Employees of the Lake County Supervisor of Election's office said it has not received more complaints than any other years.\"As far as complaints go, I don't think it's been any worse. You always have some of that,\" said Assistant Supervisor Jerry Foster.In Seminole County, the Supervisor of Elections said every single election has some sign mischief, especially involving local candidates and during the primaries.A Daytona Beach candidate for city commissioner contacted police after someone stole her signs."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
