- Trent's been cris-crossing the district, from Tupelo to Booneville to the Southaven area delivering literature for canvassers, and he's seen all of five Greg Davis signs -- compared to "literally hundreds" for Travis Childers. Childers is winning the sign wars even in areas closer to Davis' home turf.- Trent describes the atmosphere in Booneville, where the Childers campaign HQ is located, as a total "lovefest for Travis". Not surprising, given that Childers won 85% of the vote in the area (Prentiss County) on April 22nd.
- Dick Cheney's comments on visiting south Memphis have rankled people in the Tupelo area. Childers has been working that story into his recent stump speeches, saying that Memphis doesn't need another congressman -- Mississippi does.
- Childers is up with an ad on African-American radio hitting Davis on his campaign event with Cheney. Childers will need strong turnout from the black community on Tuesday.

Sorry, I couldn't resist, but tell Trent that a lot of Davis signs have been stolen and that's probably why he's seeing less. This includes big signs being cut off the poles.
ReplyDeletemust be concerned citizens
ReplyDeletelol. Not very clean way to play imho.
ReplyDeleteI was joking. Campaign signs have gone missing since day one in elections. I can assure you there is no covert sign stealing operation.
ReplyDeleteI guess there are some energetic "entrepeneurs" out there. In the spots I've seen it happen at, it's pretty obvious by the repetition that somebody is serious about keeping them down.
ReplyDeleteNo offense, but you didn't know about the other "operations" that are a-foot either.
Yeah, I knew you were joking ("lol"), but it's happening. I know it may have always happened, but it's happening more than normal. Folks can fuss about dirty ads or whatever, but I'm seeing a dirty grassroots campaign from the Dems. I know that's not welcome on your blog, but that's my observation and opinion. We'll see how it turns out soon. Take care.
