ELECT ME NOW!!!!!!

The non-partisan mayoral election in Montgomery is next Tuesday, and the candidates have been doing everything they can to get inexpensive publicity, including the building and installing of some of the biggest non-billboard signs I've seen in a campaign.

These over sized Todd Strange campaign signs are all over the place in The Capitol, on rights-of-way and in people's yards. All speech is protected in America, and I would even be willing to argue that political speech is at the top of that list. But is there any limit at all to political sign size on private property? Could someone put up a 20' x 20' sign in front of their house? How about 30' x 50'? One good thing about these signs is that they will presumably come down next Wednesday, unlike some smaller campaign ads that seem to remain forever...

........like these stickers I spotted on a utility pole not too many yards from the larger current campaign signs. And it's been fifteen years since Paul Hubbert last ran (and lost) for Governor. If nothing else, the stickers are an ad for the durability of the signs themselves!

[UPDATE: How candidate Strange affords those signs...a story in this morning's Montgomery Advertiser.]
