Noticing the first few lawn signs for a particular presidential hopeful the other day demanded a second look.
Yes, they were brand new. Sparkling. So who was endorsing him?
Nobody, apparently. Only his staff.
Years ago I learned to pay attention to just where the roadside signs were being planted. If they’re popping up on people’s lawns, you can assume some support for the candidate. But placed on public right of way or at intersections or uninhabited stretches of roadway, it’s only somebody doing a job. (In this case, the signs were in front of the parking lot of an abandoned church. So much for separation of church and state?)
Some of us have learned not to be fooled. And some of us have learned to seriously consider a candidate, based on the lawns where their names are appearing.
