Uber ... you are supposed to be an old hand at this "game" of politics. It amazes me that you make such an issue about signage since everyone knows that signs mean almost nothing in this town. I can't remember how many times I've heard the old saying in one campaign headquarters or another that:

"SIGNS DON'T VOTE...PEOPLE VOTE"

If you recall...when Schundler ran against Manzo.... despite the fact that Schundler had a good deal of signage around town, Manzo papered the city like a paper-hanger on a caffeine high. It didn't wins him even one ward. So let's wait and see who actually has a GOTV effort organized...then we can start predicting who will be the next occupant of the corner office at 280 Grove.

: The leaves are starting the fall -- and the Healy signs along with them!

: Up in the Heights here, about two weeks ago Healy signs got plastered on a bunch of houses. One after another, I see people pitching them in the garbage. Anybody have any idea what gives?

: And this isn't vandalism -- as in the case of the Manzo signs. The homeowners are taking the signs down themselves and putting them in the trash. I only saw one that was defaced by a magic markered "X." As it was kept up in that sorry state for a week, my assumption is that the damage is intentionally inflicted by the person living there.

: I only know a little about a single case. Seems that the twerp agreed to put the sign up in exchange for like a little favor. . . (To all concerned, remember, as we've been told, God works in strange ways (Gov. James E. uses the word "mysterious.")) After a little bit, the slink dumped the yellow sign. This might be the first case of a voter breaking a campaign promise made to a politician!

: Manzo signs are holding their own after the little wave of spite. A few Smith and Carroll signs are out and about. I can't remember seeing any for the other hopefuls.
