Driving through eight states just two months before a congressional election, Lola and I see plenty of roadside campaign signs, but I don’t recall a single one which said Republican or Democrat. The design was almost always a BIG LAST NAME for this elective office. Most of the time the candidates’ first name was listed and about over half had some simple slogan.
There was a time when signs would read “Smith – DEMOCRAT for the job” or “Jones – REPUBLICAN for some office”. I may be reading too much into the absence of party affiliation but clearly the people running the campaigns don’t believe either party is producing warm fuzzy feelings in the voting public.
