Race really heating up now. In addition to the signs last mentioned, my drive home now includes:
  • 1 Edwards sign
  • 1 Huckabee sign (Sorry, but "Huckabee" as a name has the lowest gravitas-quotient of any recent candidate. It sounds like it ought to be a Teletubbies spinoff: "This Saturday morning, it's The Huckabees! Chaos and comedy erupt when Baby Huckabee loses her dolly, and Happy Huckabee and Mopey Huckabee learn a heartwarming lesson about sharing..." Trivial and petty, I know. But still...)
  • 1 "I support George W. Bush" sign (Now there's one quixotic personality.)
Apparently, the Big Regional Newspaper hereabouts has endorsed Clinton. I'll check today if this translates into a big surge in Clinton signs, as local Dems rush lemming-like to support her, as predicted here.

UPDATE: Is the Register having an effect? 2 new Clinton signs have sprung up just today...
But, they may be somewhat counteracted by an Edwards sign, 2 new Huckabees, and a big Tancredo sign on the way to Lowe's (which has a miserable assortment of Christmas trees this year, btw).

Regarding my disdain for the Huckabee moniker, the Ranting Offspring says that for her, Tancredo is the guy with the greatest name-ickiness factor. "It sounds like some kind of horrible food", she says. We debate what kind of food a Tancredo would be. I think something like Beef Liver Tancredo. She says something more like Refried Tancredo. I suppose Huckabees could be some kind of candy, probably little stale-tasting gummy things that get caught in your teeth.

So yer saying that the whole caucus thing is a trick by politicians and media in cahoots with sign makers?

Christmas trees? Look no further than this outstanding example of American ingenuity.

Fred Thompson is one of the most straightforward politicians I’ve seen. To quote an old saying, “he says what he means, and means what he says”. He understands the world we live in, the gravity of our war on terrorism and the geopolitics involved, our national security requirements, as well as the necessity of a strong economy, and proficient health and educational systems. And he understands what role the federal government should take in these matters and what roles it should not, states rights. You see, Fred is a firm believer in our constitution. He’s quite outspoken for our 2nd ammendment rights because of that belief. Go to Fred08.com to see for yourself his stances on the issues and his plans for improvement
