400 Troutdale Homes: Not ONE Kulongoski Sign
The Mrs. and I spent most of our day today going door to door for Karen Minnis, Ron Saxton, and a few Troutdale City Council candidates. If lawn signs are any indication, Kulongoski is in trouble with a capital T here in Troutdale. We didn't see a single Kulongoski sign today. Not one.

Of course, lawn signs aren't votes. But ZERO Kulongoski signs in an entire neighborhood of nearly 400 homes with 55% registered democrat voters cannot be interpreted by anyone as support for him.

Technorati tags: Ron Saxton

Kulongoski, Old Pal, I'm Not Feeling The Love!
The political sign wars are in full swing here in Troutdale. For city council candidates, based on their signage alone, I give the edge to Marianne Vier, Norm Thomas, Matt Wand, and Pat Smith.

For the District 49 House race, Karen Minnis has signs everywhere. Rob Brading? A distant second in sign placement. However, last week when I drove through Fairview on the way to a joint Troutdale/Wood Village/Gresham/Fairview meeting, I saw plenty of Rob Brading signs.

For Governor, there are quite a few Saxton signs. Quite a few. The first time I saw a Kulongoski sign was tonight. And just one. A single sign.

For direct mail to our home, we've received what seems like daily pieces from the Minnis camp. I wonder if I wrote her a check she'd get off my direct mail back. Just kidding, Karen, love ya. It seems like a waste of money, kind of like preaching to the choir. We also got a nifty full color poison fish themed piece from the Brading campaign. Lovely.

We've received (I'm pretty sure) about 2 pieces of direct mail per week from the Saxton campaign. Not ONE piece from the Kulongoski campaign, Ted, buddy, I'm not feeling the love!

We haven't received any direct mail pieces from Troutdale city council candidates. This surprises me. Several of these candidates are virtually unknown. Direct mail to around 4,000 registered voters isn't so much trouble. And time is running out!

The Mrs. has been going door to door this week for several candidates. I'll be joining her tomorrow. We have a lot of homes to cover with those doorknob hanging thing-a-ma-bob flyers.

1. Stop by Dem office, pick up a stack of door hangers, and get them put up!!!

If the DPO is out of door hangers for Kulo, then pick them up at the Washington County Dems office (just south of Bed Bath & Beyond in Beaverton)
