Reply #22: His attitude about it pissed off a lot of voters who made a special trip

[Lorien]

just to get a sign or bumper sticker to show their support for their candidate. In the final weeks he jacked up the price to $8 for a sticker and $20 for a sign. Democrats aren't the wealthiest lot, so that was a bit uncalled for. It turned voters off, and that, I believe was a very bad thing indeed. I personally bought muffins and other bakery items from Costco and sold them at the front desk, using the money to buy stickers and signs for those who wanted them but couldn't pay. It was a matter of public relations and gaining support, not merely an issue of how effective signs are.


I find it interesting that your primary comment about my post centers around the sign issue.
