Apologies to Jason for stealing his title. Jason330 has an ongoing series on the campaign literature he’s receiving but I’d like to talk about signs. I’m hesitant to do this after making fun of Ron Williams’s drive around his neighborhood and Harry Themal’s concern that people stopped on the interstate. I’m hoping I’m performing a public service here.
In my district, we have a Democratic primary to replace Bill Oberle in the Delaware state House. Two people are running – Kay Wilde Gallogly (the party endorsed candidate) and Ed Osienski (the labor endorsed candidate). Both candidates have signs up and IMO they are perfect examples of DO and DON’T. First Kay Gallogly’s sign:
Ed Osienski’s sign:
I do this not to pick on Kay, but her signs are terrible. You can’t read them until you get close to them and even then it’s still hard to read the name. I know that “yard signs don’t vote” but with two brand-new candidates, name recognition is important. Ed’s sign is much clearer and you can read his last name quite well.
My husband, Free Radical, would like to give extra-special kudos to Chris Coons for his advertising strategy. Chris Coons for Senate ads popped up when he was listening to Pandora internet radio.
When he checked on Christian stations, he saw ads for home schooling. Nothing for O’Donnell, Castle, Rollins or Urquhart.
