Reality-based commentary on politics.

While I realize that lawn signs do not vote(First in the nation?)…

By

I had the opportunity to drive through large chunks of both Nashua and Hudson, New Hampshire today, and although the primary is 2 weeks from tomorrow, you would never know it by the complete absence of lawn signs in Nashua. Granted, I only drove through the neighborhoods around my parent’s former house, then South Main Street, the Nashua Country Club, and Allds Street then eventually the Bridge over to Hudson on E. Hollis Street. In Hudson, I drove up past my parent’s gravesite, then back to Massachusetts via Route 3A. However, I saw a grand total of exact ONE Republican lawn sign and ZERO Democrat lawn signs throughout the entire drive. What’s all this then!

First in the nation, BAH!!!

  1. I was in the Hudson Valley this weekend and saw a Trump sign in a yard and right next to the sign was a german shepherd licking his privates. I tried to get my phone out and get a picture, but the dog moved as we got closer.

    I can’t think of better microcosm of the Republican race than a dog licking his privates.

  3. …is that while there are not as many yard signs as you might expect in people’s yards, they seem to grow like weeds on median strips, publicly owned roadside land, and the like.

    • so when I see any signs on medians or public spaces, I treat it similar to a “down vote” or an act of desperation.

  4. For one, in NH you can put them anywhere, and people do. You see them clustered at high traffic corners, including the median, for example.

    In MA, where they have to be on private property, then it does show support of the people that own that property and if you have a lot out there, people assume you’ve got something going for you.

    In NH for local elections all the same principles as MA apply. Nashua is loaded with signs (on property) for mayoral or city council elections.

    For the Presidential Primaries the dynamic is different- I don’t think the signs matter. For the General I don’t think it matters either, but NH was literally wallpapered with Romney and Obama signs in 2012.
