Huge GQP signs are EVERYWHERE. Far fewer, and much smaller Dem signs

[Stinky The Clown]

The GQP signs approach billboard signs. They on 2x4 lumber with serious wind bracing.

The sign differences are NO indication of candidate popularity.

Our Dem governor candidate is currently THIRTY TWO POINTS ahead of their GQP candidate. Our term-limited Republican governor not only refused to endorse the GQP candidate, he called him a Q-Anon nut job.

The Dems signs seem normal for any election.

The GQP signs appear to me as desperation.




Oh yeah . . . . . Maryland.

1. There's a truism is advertising

advertising can make a bad brand fail faster

And yes, judging by the size of their signs, the gop brand must be quite desperate.

[BComplex]

2. The best elections dark money can buy!

That's the USA under this Supreme Court!

[Tetrachloride]

3. Democratic powers think yard signs are a waste of money, I have read.

I disagree.

[BumRushDaShow]

4. Rooting for you guys to remove the GOP from the governor's mansion

and do your final Bye Felicia to Hogan and his party.

[childfreebychoice]

13. Former md resident. Hogan hoodwinked and bamboozled

Many of my Dem friends, twice. Thank goddess we had veto proof Dem congress, to kneecap some of his rethug ideas. Gov Moore, ag brown, and Ms Lieberman as comptroller. Md has run weak Dem candidates, since O'Malley, til now

[BumRushDaShow]

15. At least Alan Keyes never got in any office there as much as he wanted a Senate seat

[Trueblue1968]

5. PLEASE PRODUCE FACTS.... where is your evidence. I have not seen this in my state.

[childfreebychoice]

14. Md friends reports same. Nt

[Biophilic]

19. Seriously? They are telling you what they've seen and their interpretation of it.

What’s the deal with demanding “facts”? States May differ and probably do. Relax. It’s a conversation.

[paleotn]

24. I've certainly seen it in mine.

Gerald Malloy signs all over the place. He's running as the Republican for Pat Leahy's old Senate seat. Saw a ton of them on the University of Vermont campus last weekend in Burlington. In the right of way mind you, but they're everywhere. It's like the guy blew his entire bankroll on those stupid signs. Doesn't matter. Peter Welch will trounce him. He's polling 2 to Malloy's 1. To be honest, I'm kind of proud of that.

[Stinky The Clown]

36. Stop yelling

And what's your point?

jeeeze

[redstatebluegirl]

6. I think Tim Ryan will be like Manchin holding us hostage

with the "I am the best you can get in Pennsylvania" nonsense.

[onecaliberal]

7. Me too.

[bottomofthehill]

17. I think you both should look at Tim Ryan's voting record and compare it to Bernie Sanders and Joe Ma

I think you will be very surprised…….


Tim Ryan is a real Democrat running in a red state. Everyone can’t run in Manhattan. If more people thought like, spoke like and acted like Tim Ryan, we would not be in such a shitty place.

[Diamond_Dog]

20. +1000

From this Ohioan

[LisaL]

26. He'd have to be elected first.

But if he is elected, he won't be like Manchin.

[moose65]

31. Ryan is running in Ohio

[GenThePerservering]

9. They never left junior high cheer club

Adults don't need huge flags, signs and desecrated flags made into clothing and delusional banners.

[CatWoman]

10. that's like the MAGATs claiming Trump had to have beaten Biden

because Trump had larger crowd sizes.

These people are not deep thinkers.

[Rebl2]

11. Have seen

next to no signs where I live, except some local issues and even very few of those. It’s almost like people are afraid to put signs in their yard.

[Warpy]

12. I think you're right

I wss out last Monday, drove through this town and into one adjacent and I saw NO signs. There weren't any on 2020, either, I suppose more due to the pandemic and everybody knew TFG didn't have a hope in hell around here. I have never seen a red cap in the wild, nor a TFG flag. I know a few parts of the state people might get away with them without being laughed at, but this isn't it.

I'm glad they're overspending. I'm glad they're desperate. I just hope they;re humiliated.

[spinbaby]

16. The money promoting Oz in PA is astounding

I’m watching bread baking on YouTube (Novita Listyani is very good) and getting an Oz ad every three minutes. I flag each and every one as inappropriate. Usually when I flag an ad as inappropriate, they’ll show me some other ads, but the Oz ads keep coming. Someone dumped a shit ton of money on YouTube.

[SunSeeker]

18. The GOP thought the Trump Trains everywhere meant Trump would win in 2020.

It just meant his supporters are in a cult.

Dems don't idolize and proselytize and get in people's faces with huge signs and flags, because we're not in a cult. We see elections as basically choosing someone for a government job; Republicans see it as an evangelical crusade. Fortunately, there is more of us than the cult. We just need to vote.

[IronLionZion]

21. MAGAts have claimed that's proof of fraud

since not many Dems go around wearing Biden hats like MAGA

GQP can put up signs while Dems vote. Because really it's who has the most votes. Not who tries to compensate with loudness.

[Marius25]

22. I'm from Maryland too. Notice how they made all the Dan Cox signs blue?

I see his stupid blue signs everywhere.

[Stinky The Clown]

39. Thanks for the reminder!!!

I forgot to include that, too.

Cox is doing it. So is Jessica Haire running for AA County exec against Stuart Pittman.

Locally, school board and county council candidates are also finding "Democrat Blue" as a fashionable hue this season.




They are desperate.

[paleotn]

23. Gerald Malloy signs all over the place here in VT....

I mean all over the damn place. Doesn't matter. Peter Welch is leading 2 to 1.

[karynnj]

27. Not to mention the many Malloy signs are beyond ugly

Deploy Malloy doesn't really work and the ones I saw don't say what he is running for. Tons of them on public areas even in Burlington.

[paleotn]

30. Yep, they're beyond goofy.

Malloy tweeted a picture of him and Trump the other day like THAT'S going to help.

[karynnj]

25. I am so glad you posted this

I live in the super blue town of Burlington, VT. There is absolutely no question of how Republicans will do. In local city wide elections, the race is between the progressives, who currently have a majority on t h e town council and the Democrats, the mayor's party. Yet coming into town on the interstate, there are more signs for the various Republicans who will definitely lose. More signs than for Democrats who are huge favorites or even the moderate Republican governor, eho will very very likely win.

Yet as soon as. You turn into any residential street and you see virtually no Republicans signs many for. WELCH, Becca, and Zucherman. Why the difference? Entering town it is public right a way and the Republicans bought signs and put them there. But, peoples' lawns tell the real story.

[moose65]

33. Funny!

It seems like Republicans don’t mind pissing away their money in places like Vermont. It’s kinda like the fact that Pelosi and AOC’s opponents always get millions and millions in donations, only to blow it all and lose by 30 points.

[aintitfunny]

28. New signs this week

In SW Baltimore County. Saw them being put up, large and small. Local moronic
(R) running for County Council has big, red signs that promise he’ll stop inflation, he always runs for something, he always loses. Been going on for a couple of decades, or more.

[Initech]

34. Yeah where I live, local MAGA moron running for school board...

Has giant signs everywhere claiming that his opponent voted for CRT. When I looked at who the conservatives endorse, his name was on the ballot. And he's a business man. No education experience whatsoever.

[bottomofthehill]

29. Big signs but few votes on the eastern shore.

Drove to the queens town outlets a couple weeks ago then out to Cambridge for supper. Lots of big signs but houses few and far between.

[Stinky The Clown]

40. Oh I want Heather Mizeur to kick Harris' smug ass to a chicken shit pile in Salisbury!!!!

[Initech]

32. Anyone who has to fly a flag taller than their house is definitely compensating for something.

[phylny]

35. I drrove from my home in Bedford County, VA to Roanoke.

There were hardly any signs. All but one of the huge Trump signs I used to see are gone. Don't get me wrong, it's still a red area but I was surprised at the lack of Republican signs.

[tavernier]

37. We don't put up signs

I don’t want raging maga nuts to know where I live.

My son-in-law has a haunted yard at his house that the kids go through and they put up an alien spaceship along with other stuff. Daughter dressed as an alien and said to the kids going by, take me to your leader. Suddenly, some big wild eyed guy started shouting at her, “F’in Biden is not our leader!”

She said , This is Halloween for the kids, not politics. Get off the property!

They’re everywhere and I don’t want my property damaged.

[Genki Hikari]

38. I was in San Antonio today

Helping an old neighbor whose house caught on fire. Took a turn around the neighborhood, to see if any signs were up. The neighborhood is near Clark High School, which is a solid middle-class/upper-middle class neighborhood, not far from very $$$$$$$$$ Shavano Park. It tended to be solid purple in the past, maybe on the red side, thanks to being mostly an empty-nester boomer neighborhood, with young families trickling in.

And yet not one Abbott sign to be found. All 7 of the houses that had governor signs up were for Beto.

That is unusual. Even the Republican family on one corner who used to blanket their yard with r signs don't have any posted now. Neighbor says that in 2018, they had Beto signs for Senate.

Also heard that the two Needy Amin families were shamed for keeping their MAGA 2020 signs up through the Stolen Election nonsense. I don't know the method used to get them to stop being stupid, but neither of them have signs up now. Of any kind.

I think what's going on with the r quiet is that the old-timers might be r or r-leaning, but a bunch of them are retired postal workers/feds, and ex-military (it's SA, after all). That crowd would NOT have approved of J6 for any reason, even if they were r themselves.

J6 might have been the last straw for some of them regarding the r party. Without talking to some of them, I can't say for sure. I don't exactly have time for it right now. But I have a feeling that's going on. At least in that neighborhood.
