Interesting to see this topic come up, as I have been thinking about it a lot lately. (Certainly due to the fact that I'm seeing signs everywhere.)
It has always been my understanding that lawn signs serve to provide name recognition for local candidates who may be relatively unknown around town. The sign is supposed to create interest and stick the name into the memories of passersby. I find this to be a fine strategy for local races, such as city and county and soforth. I really don't know that the presidential signs do a thing in Minneapolis, though someone may have an argument to the contrary since there are so darn many of them.
