A couple of people have questioned the dearth of lawn signs this year and I 
think I know why.  I suspect all the money is going to other forms of 
advertising that are deemed to have a bigger bang for the buck.  Alas, 
campaigns are changing.  In the old days everything was done by volunteers 
and the work was simple, make calls, pound lawnsigns, stuff envelopes.  One 
of the friends recently called a U. S. Senate campaign office and volunteered 
to help.  The only thing the person who answered the phone could offer was 
the opportunity to host a fundraiser.  So this is what it has come to - raise 
money to hire consultants to make media buys.  How sad.
