Opening Arguments

Give em a yard and . . .

Campaign I know your heads are just filled with campaign information, from the candidates and newspapers and radio and TV and even blogs. In the case there is a race or two you are still trying to decide about at the last minute, I offer this timely election graphic that should give you all you need to know to make up your mind.

Just kidding. But seriously, if I were a candidate, I'd pick two or three major thoroughfares and put out a lot of my signs, spaced every few hundred yards, and I'd make sure mine were the only ones there. That way, my name might stick with a few people, and one or two of them might even vote for me. Clumps of signs like these -- of which there are many -- seem a big waste of time and money to me. The image of one sign is not going to stick in the mind of people whizzing by in cars.

I began pulling my signs down at 6:00 PM Tuesday evening and so far from just Fort Wayne have recovered 293 signs. Looking at the signs I pulled, up, I do not believe I lost any to wind. Many of the signs I put out were used in 2002, 2004 and 2006 and still look good enough to use in 2008. If you should see any of my signs, either pull it down for me or give me a call at (260) 637-0741 or email me at repealss@juno.com and I will have it picked up.
