Signs
Watch for that famous Ann Arbor warmth and friendliness to get a little strained over the next couple weeks as sleepless nights spent guarding political signs start to take their toll. “I can’t tell you how many people say, ‘They stole my sign and I’m going to buy two for every one they took,’” a Kerry headquarters office manager tells the News, while the victim of a sign theft claims a strengthened resolve to go to the polls. So, could it be possible that the signs are being taken by the campaigns themselves? They can re-sell the signs and energize their base in the process.
All we know is, so far our Kestenbaum flyer hasn’t been stolen by our roommates.
“…by the campaigns themselves”?–how funny, and, actually, weirdly plausible. And here I’d thought political signs were complete wastes of wire and paper.
