The Long Campaign
People make a lot of noise about literature and signage as indicators of the strength of a political campaign. Too often, the more literature (Jack Evans mayoral campaigns) and signs, the more there is money in a campaign, and less actual support on the part of potential voters. E.g., most of the "Think Cropp" signs were put up by people paid to do so. These signs have been sitting on this porch for about a week and I finally had my camera with me to take a photo.
No knock on the Cropp campaign, because these signs on the porch of a supporter are at least one indication that someone cares enough to go around and put the signs up (or to call friends to put them up in their yards...).
I am collecting photos of campaign signs and eventually events I suppose, in the flickr tag "Washington DC Election 2006."
