This is not a yard sign election. Sometimes yard signs are a great energy sink for all the volunteers who must be put to work. Canvassing for the candidates and distributing free yard signs to supporters is a great way to rally support and engage active supporters. The drive-by neighborhood advertising doesn’t hurt anything either. It’s sort of like the Colombian civil war of the fifties when partisans demonstrated their support for one side or another by painting their doorways, only without the mayhem and gunfire.
Yard sign election or not, I traipsed over to the Madison Obama Campaign Headquarters and bought a great union made recyclable plastic yard sign and placed it conspicuously on the lawn by the road. It cost eight dollars. It was wonderfully visible to travelers going in either direction.
Note the past tense.
Somebody ripped it off today and logic tells me the thief works for John McCain. So hear this Mr. McCain… you snotty, immature child of privilege: don’t bother coming to my state until you’ve reimbursed me for the sign or I’ll have you pinched for aiding and abetting, and inciting petty theft. How will that look on your permanent record?
