Muscatine

What's the purpose?

Posted in: Muscatine

 So what else does it take to get elected in Muscatine?


Legal and registered voters.

While driving home from work I saw some more Lofgren signs and as well some Dabeet signs in peoples front yards.  Will some of you please answer this question?   What is the purpose of these political signs?  What do the politicians hope to gain from the signs?

 

A mazing - I saw one of your old signs out on 22. Looked like it was holding up an old barn. So why did YOU put up so many signs? What did YOU hope to gain from the signs?

Name Recognition?   Sounds reasonable to me. So what else does it take to get elected in Muscatine?


A whole lot of money to get your picture and a short spiel on TV helps.   And more and bigger signs.   And a newspaper ad a few times.

You should also have a couple of ideas that appeal to the average voaters beyond the usual "good jobs", "good education", "lower taxes" that everybody touts.

A good registration drive helps as does a bunch of people reminding voters to vote early and often.   Or at least vote once sometime before the election.

A lousy opponent is really good too.  But if he has enough money behind him, he can overcome that and still win.
