A former local GOP committee chair offers some thoughts on the strategy of putting up candidate signs:

I am familiar with the area you posted pictures on this morning (I am a former Chairman of the Lee District Republican committee). That is not a bad area to put up a lot of signs. It is however not really a good TIME to do that. It’s either too early, if you are looking to remind your supporters and potential supporters to vote, or too late, if you are looking to persuade people that your campaign has a lot of momentum (and really there is too much news out there pointing the other way for a sign blitz to do much good this way). The numbers look to be a little overkill, it would have been better to extend and go up and down Van Dorn Street as well. Sign blitzes can be effective, mostly to show how organized and enthused your campaign is (although if your opponents are inclined to pull them down, you can use sign blitzes to distract their campaign from more useful activities). Another benefit from using a sign blitz is that your campaign workers have an easy task that clearly shows progress, so its great to build or maintain morale, which is what I suspect Deeds was doing here.

Yes, Van Dorn Street, which intersects Franconia Road, had plenty of delegate signs but not too many Deeds signs the last time I drove by.
