First Political Sign of Election Season

The first political sign in NorCo this election cycle has been spotted!  It's for the crowded magisterial contest in the Slate Belt.

Now I know that ,in someareas, yard signs matter.I am told they matter in Schuylkill County. But do they make a difference here?

You tell me.

  1. A few years back I thought Remax was going to win the election.

    I am immuned to the positive aspects of advertisements. The more commercials or signs I see is just a reminder of what not to buy, or for whom not to vote.

    Debates matter greatly to me, if you're not prepared to debate, don't bother trying to get my vote.

  2. Just saw my first FedEd sign on the west side of Allentown last week. I think they only serve to build name recognition among clueless/uninformed voters.

  3. I thought there were ordinances in most cities and towns limiting the time signs can be put out. Isn't the general rule 30 days before an election?

  4. In all my years of voting I think one yard sign caught my attention (name I didn't know). Researched him and decided against voting for that person.

  5. " Isn't the general rule 30 days before an election?"

    In most townships, yes, but that is trumped by the First Amendment.

  6. Amen Bernie. In your yard you have the right to put up a sign when you want. Only zoning can go against that and good luck with that one.

  7. Show's a desperate candidate if out more then 30 days before the election. People will get used to the sign and it won't have impact.

  8. Labar shows desperate action with his signage. Shows he could care less about poluting us with the sign vermain. This guy has not been honest from the get go. Public defender and leads us to believe he is some super lawyer and his relative to District Judge Sherwood Grigg. Why not be upfront Labar and honest if you want to be our judge?

  9. 4:57, why the jab at public defenders? They are in court trying and defending the unthinkable. People like you make it a thankless job.

  10. What is this so called relationship between LaBar and Grigg? Did I miss that?

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
