| It's true, yard signs don't vote, but then again, in a Virginia primary, very few voters do either. The Deeds campaign has opted not to run a traditional GOTV campaign in Northern Virginia, given that a high turnout in the region might help Brian Moran or Terry McAuliffe. Rather, they have waged a campaign of name recognition and persuasion, with an unrivaled mail barrage on Dem. primary voters, and a series of TV ads meant to compete with Terry McAuliffe's far-wealthier campaign.
The excess of Deeds signs even in places like Arlington and Fairfax counties show that there are plenty of Creigh volunteers in the area, and they are motivated. How else do you put up 10,000 signs in 6 days?
Here are a few choice examples that this Deeds supporter has found:
Amongst the towers and traffic of Seven Corners in Falls Church
A supporter and Senator Deeds at Clarendon Metro
At the green behind Clarendon Metro in Arlington
Competing with Terry in McLean
My personal favorite: outside of Terry McAuliffe's neighborhood in McLean
If anyone else has photos from the upcoming Virginia primary - put them up! Unfortunately I am rather isolated these days in Northern Virginia, but hopefully things are heating up across the Old Dominion.
Finally - if you want to volunteer for the Deeds campaign in the home stretch -
contact the field office closest to you! |
