In today's Trib, we see the petty little crap that can happen in a campaign... I am annoyed when I see opposing lawn signs, but taking them is simply lousy.

Now the other thing in the article that caught my eye is this:

Bryan Platt, chairman of the Jackson County Republican Central Committee, said he had heard of only one report of Bush/Cheney signs taken recently.

He pointed out that there aren’t many locally, however, because the Bush/Cheney campaign has selected Sept. 11 as the big day for putting up signs.

"Frankly, it's frustrating for us," he said. "We’ve been raring to go."

Platt said the campaign believes it will have more of a psychological impact to put up all the signs at one time.

Now Platt is correct that coordinated deployment of signage has a great impacting effect, but is it me (it may be...), or is Sept. 11 a cynically interesting choice? (yeah, I know it's the first Saturday after Labor day, but...)
