The Anecdotal Lawn Signs Megathread

[Progressive Pessimist]

Speaking only for the NJ-5 election, I am seeing a fairly equal amount of Gottheimer and Pallotta signs.

Speaking for local elections, my town's Democratic nominees are well ahead of their Republican opponents who I haven't seen any signs of yet.

I only bring up my local elections because the Republican candidate for Mayor is someone I went to middle school with, and I hate him. Him being a Republican on top of my dislike of him from school is just all too poetic. There is a lot I want to happen this year, politically, and one of them is him losing.

Also, not election related: there is a dentist with a practice in his home across the street from me and he has an "Impeach Biden-Save America" sign on his front lawn and I resist the urge to kick it over every time I am outside. I wonder how that might be affecting his business, if at all. Though he always has Republican lawn signs every year, so I am not all that surprised, but this one is much more negative.

Slight Update: I am now seeing more signs for the local Republican ticket in my town, but they are still outnumbered by the Democrats' signs, from what I can tell.

And that dentist near where I am replaced his "Impeach Biden" sign with a Pallotta sign. Still not enjoyable to see, but at least it's more of an affirmative statement than something so callously confrontational.

September 19 update in my swingy north Cobb County (GA) area: GOP still winning the "commercial property" sign war handily, but there seems to be a skew towards down-ballot candidates. Still no signs in people's yards.

- No signs for Warnock and only one for Walker;
- One sign each for Abrams and Kemp;
- A good number of signs for Loudermilk (GOP incumbent in GA-11; Safe R race);
- A LOT of signs for Robert Trim (the R trying to hold the open and now much-bluer HD-35, one of the few Dem pickup opportunities in the state House this year,) just one for Lisa Campbell (the Dem trying to flip the seat);
- A LOT of signs for local Kennesaw city council candidates.

the fact we are losing the sign war in Northern Cobb county should be alarming. What was it like in 2020?

One Walker sign in Cobb, anecdotally reported, suggests that to you?

Speaking outside of my hometown for once, in surrounding towns Gottheimer has many more signs, especially in heavily Jewish areas, but that almost doesn't matter because he is burying Pallotta in ads of every medium now.

I was also in Rockland, Orange, and Ulster counties today-I saw one sign for Lawler and maybe two for Schmidt. Not much to really note. I saw many more signs for State Senate races.

So, someone planted a Gottheimer sign without permission on what I thought was my property, but I guess isn't.

I don't necessarily mind it, I guess, as frustrating as Gottheimer can be, but it was just a little odd to wake up and see.

Meh, at least it wasn't a sign for a Republican.

That dentist across the street from me put up a giant "JOSH GOTTHEIMER VOTED TO RAISE YOUR TAXES" sign on his lawn.

Now, I have my frustrations with Gottheimer, but the guy is all about lowering taxes for the average resident of the district. The whole SALT thing with him helped derail the BBB package. I think he is referring to the IRA with this sign, but unless everyone driving past his house is a millionaire or billionaire (which in Bergen County may be possible, granted) it's completely misleading. Not that it matters because Gottheimer isn't losing, but this guy is so f***ing obnoxious. I had to vent about it.

Anyway, on a larger scale, not much different occurring in the lawn sign department where I am. The County Executive/Commissioner signs are starting to pop up more often now though.
