OK here's my take. Signs = Advertising. Obviously some people respond to that, while others may be turned off by it. Now I leave it to any thoughtful person to come to a conclusion as to whether the volume of signs is really a proper measuring stick for choosing our next leader, but make no mistake about it, they wouldn't do it if it weren't effective. Some elections have come down to a handful of votes and with margins that can be razor thin yeah candidates will do whatever it takes to get as many votes as they can. That means tons of signs. We should have a contest, how many signs will be posted on that stretch of road the day before the NH Primary. Bet it would be in the thousands.
