superficial politics

On the Seminole Heights Blog, we discussed political yards signs.
“Who has the best campaign signs and who has the worst? This has nothing to do with whether you support them or not. Lets just look at their signs. Which one is most eye catching, or has best colors, or gets the candidates name out there clearly? Extra points for avoiding the tired red white and blue color scheme.”
“Best:
Rose Ferlita. Good strong colors and name stands out.
Chloe Coney. The hat is a good device to make it stand out. Names stands out.
Kevin White. Good colors. Name stands out well.
Betsy Hapner. Nice colors and name stands out well. The symbol is good.
April Griffin. Name stands out well.”Worst:
Les Miller. Dull. Does not stand out well enough. If I remember right, May be a retread color and design from Gwen Miller’s campaign.
The “I have a dream guy”. Too much clutter. Simplify.”
So for those outside of Central Tampa area, what can you contribute to the list?
Then, issues aside and other real reasons you should vote for someone, what superficial reasons (including yard signs)could cause you to vote for a particular candidate (whether or not you would actually vote for that person?) Tell us who and why.

Mary Mulhern, Democrat for County Commission District 1! Strong and very noticeable blue & white signs seen cropping up now in South Tampa, as her campaign begins Wed. against the Rose Ferlita juggernaut. Check out her website and progressive views on transit

Jim Davis has a nice ass. That counts for something.

Rod Smith- simply because he’s not afraid to put the word “Democrat” on his signs. In this day and age too many politicians seem embarrassed to tell the public which party they’re associated with. If the Democrats wish to get their message out, it’s necessary that they tell us who is representing their (my) party. I believe that, if presented clearly, the Democratic message always speaks to the public more than the Republican message.

Aren’t you always supposed to vote for the one with the prettiest sign?
