NC-11: We're winning the sign war

=======================

This weekend, my girlfriend and I went to a wedding at beautiful Lake Lure, North Carolina. On Saturday, we took a drive from Lake Lure up to Asheville, traveling along US 74 through some truly lovely country.

Anyway, the point of this post isn’t to blather on about my weekend. What I noticed as I drove to Asheville was the amazing profusion of Heath Shuler and WNC Democrats signs along the road – and the total absence of Charles Taylor signs. Now, I’m sure that the GOP will get their sign operation up and running soon enough. But Democrats in the western part of the state are doing one hell of a great job making their support visible. [Some press on the sign campaign here and some background from Henderson County Democrats here.] And especially in the 11th District, where I saw so many Shuler signs and not a single Taylor sign.

Those great mountain Democrats are doing us proud!

Oh, and here’s Heath’s newest ad:

Too bad yard signs don't vote. :-(
Hopefully it's a sign of what the real votes are going to be on Nov. 7th though.

Nice ad

I like that ad - it kind of squashes Taylor's accusations against Shuler and reinforces that Shuler is "one of us".

It's a nice soft ad.

But, never forget that negative ads work. They draw out the base and keep the indys at home. I hope if he is attacked too many more times he will come out with something more aggressive.

CountryCrats - my thoughts, my blog.

Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory says he wants to change the culture in Raleigh. I guess that's why he wrote this letter to PAC lobbyists asking for their fundraising help. Change you can believe in? Riiiiiiight. Join the conversation here.
