Vote

I waited till ALL the races were over to post this one. Why do we have to have political signs on every plot of land visible by passing vehicles? I know, it's for name recognition at the polling booth. Why so many? How do they manage to increase in number while we sleep? Do I really need to see the candidates name 4 or 5 times on the same street corner? Does more than one equate to more votes? Does a bigger sign make that person more important or is the candidate making up for other inadequacies? All these signs do is remind the voter which candidate has polluted the landscape. Let's not vote for them! I just hate having to edge my car out far enough to see oncoming traffic because some politician has blocked my view at the corner with his 4 x 8 foot name. You really want to impress a voter? Use Billboards. Anyone can print up a few color signs but a REAL candidate will show his or her commitment by purchasing space on the many available billboards in town. I did see one name I thought was unique. But, when I stood in the booth with all the names in front of me, I couldn't find it. I guess "For Sale By Owner" wanted to be a write-in. Proof that these little signs don't work. He had one placed in every other yard and still no one voted for him!
