NH-Sen: Who's Winning the Scruffy Weeds Vote?

by: Dean Barker

Tue Jul 13, 2010 at 19:49:27 PM EDT
I'll keep this simple since the two top (self-funder) contenders, at least in my area of New Hampshire, are light years ahead of all others in both parties.

Who's winning the Pointless Signs on Nobody's Property demographic?  We all know how the scruffy weeds vote can tip an election in a swing state like ours.

Take the poll!

And if I can be serious for a minute: (4.00 / 1)
I've said this before, and maybe this is simply a variant of my area, but I see almost no Ayotte signs on actual people's property.

If signs on actual people's property mean anything, Bill Binnie is going to be the GOP nominee.  He's winning that race by a mile from my dataless car trip observations.

We should maybe put that into our post-September planning.

I'm ambivalent about political snipe signs in the public (0.00 / 0)
right of way.  They're distracting, especially when the words signify nothing.
On the other hand, the NH DoT has more important things to do than to clean up after plastic and paper hangers.
In my part of the state, neither the word 'Binnie' nor 'Bender' appears.  But, other than the word that sounds like a sneeze, I can't remember what I read.
"What we have here is a failure to communicate."  
On Rt 9 we have Binnie, Ayotte, Bender (0.00 / 0)
Notably absent are CD-02 sings. No Bass, Horn, Kuster, or Swett.
I saw one Horn sign yesterday. (4.00 / 1)
My first spotting.

No Bass at all. I find that very odd, even for his somewhat lazy campaign style.

I have seen no Swett signs or stickers to date, though I did meet a supporter at the 4th of July parade.

I have spotted both signs and stickers for Kuster in the New London/Sunapee area as well as the Upper Valley, with a bit more in the latter.

At the DHMC Prouty walk last Saturday, I walked by 6 Kuster signs.

(all signs above were on property.)

Has Charlie finally run out of the purple and orange (0.00 / 0)
signs that he stocked up on, decades ago? No year, no office, just BASS?

was it a new Horn sign? (0.00 / 0)
Horn never bothered to send people out to take down her signs down last time.  I remember one sign on Loudon Road in Concord which stayed up till March or April 2009--- which leads me to speculate that maybe the sign Dean saw is left over from 2008...

It was an old sign, (0.00 / 0)
come to think of it. Unless her logo is the same, which could also be the case.

It was in a spot that I can't imagine lasting from two years ago, but I suppose it's possible.

In my neck of the woods (0.00 / 0)
I see Bender, Binnie, this Taft person running as a conservative for something and a bunch of Jennifer Horn signs in a little grass divider. All public property. I'm surprised the signs haven't been taken down by the town highway departments yet.
