LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas— It seems the landscape of political campaigning has changed, literally! In looking around Little Rock, it appears the political yard signs that use to adorn so many lawns have pulled up stakes and left.

Yard Signs

It used to be that yard signs were the mainstay of any political campaign and were handed out for free by any given candidate’s office. Today, however, chances are that if you ask your local republican or democratic party campaigners for a yard sign, they won’t have any to give. Kerry McCoy, owner of FlagandBanner.com in Little Rock, Arkansas, knows this first hand. She is getting so many requests for political merchandise that her flag company has had to branch out into political decals, buttons, and yes, yard signs, to meet the demands of her customers. www.flagandbanner.com/holiday/viewholiday.asp?hid=22

Presidential Candidates and Other Hopefuls

“I am shipping political yard signs all over the country,” McCoy said. “I guess the candidates are spending their advertising dollars on TV ads rather than yard signs.”

In Virginia it’s been reported that there is a lawn sign war raging over voters who are frustrated because it’s nearly impossible to get a lawn sign for their preferred candidate and they fear their candidate’s efforts will be harmed because of it.

Political strategists have long contended that a yard sign is worth several hundred dollars of almost free advertising. Whether or not candidates adhere to this contention or not, McCoy sums up the situation best. “It is a sign (or not) of the times.”
