On Sunday, your author took the Little Man out for a long drive to preserve the sanity of the Missus. So MoCo’s most infamous father-son blogging team headed up to District 19, site of some of the county’s most unpredictable state legislative races, to go sign-counting. We hit most of the district’s main drags, including Georgia Avenue, New Hampshire Avenue, Norbeck Road, Layhill Road and Bel Pre/Belmont Roads. And what did we see?
One Sam Arora sign and one Ehrlich-Steele sign.
That’s right, Michael Steele – a man who has been off the ballot for almost four years – has more signs up than most of the District 19 candidates who have been allegedly campaigning for months. That’s pathetic! In contrast, District 18 has dozens of political signs decorating Connecticut and Georgia Avenues. OK, so maybe a lot of them are illegal, but at least someone took the initiative to put them up!
You guys need to get your butts in gear. If you don’t, the next three District 19 Delegates may be Long and Foster, W.C. & A.N. Miller and For Sale by Owner.

No Signs of Life in District 19

Adam:
Putting up signs now -- 104 days out -- is not where to spend time, money and resources.
Thanks for playing how not to run a campaign.
Get back to me in September.
Oh we're around, Adam, but I agree with Kevin -- it's not "sign season" yet. Most regular folks I speak with daily aren't paying attention, don't care (as much as political wonks like us do), and won't focus on the primary election until after summer vacation season.
During your visit to our fair District, I hope at least you saw the U.S. Flag displayed prominently from my home, and on the graves of my Dad, uncles, and Don Praisner who served in the Armed Forces and are buried at Gate of Heaven Cemetery. Our country's flag is a "more timely sign" for Memorial Day weekend.
Adam, you must have been distracted by your son. Didn't you see the two big "Term Limits Petition," signs in front of the Leisure World Giant where I was collecting signatures all day Saturday and Sunday? Robin Ficker
