Rep. Lewis will be re-elected. But it is shocking to see how much Republican signage has popped up here in the last few days.

Permanent Republican Moneybomb, thanks to our crooked, crooked SCOTUS.

3. Yes, but somebody had to make calls to get even moderate Republicans to agree...
...to host signs. That takes a lot of time and money.

I don't doubt that many of them sought the signs themselves, considering the current atmosphere.

7. I bet they placed many of them in places where they are not suppose to be.

2. I live in CT, a relatively moderate blue state and there are nothing BUT Repub signs here.
McMahon signs outnumber Blumenthal signs everywhere. It is all about the money.

4. I'm so glad Congressman Lewis is going to sail to an easy victory tomorrow.
I adore that man! :loveya:

I hope that Barnes and Thurmond will come out victorious tomorrow also, but I'm skeptical that it's gonna happen. Keeping my fingers crossed!

To be honest, I haven't noticed the signs for Little. I'm either not that observant or we're driving around different areas of the city. But I bet you're right in that they're funded by corporate sponsors. There is no way that the RNC is going to pump some last-minute cash into this district!

6. And that's a great thing!
To be honest, I don't know why the GOP even bothered to field a candidate for our district!

:hi:

8. How many people change their vote based on signs?
I certainly don't.

16. Newt is a carpetbagger from Pennsylvania.
The South likes good ol' boy nicknames.

I guess.
