Presidential Primary Campaign Lawn Signs Go Up for John Edwards

You know that you’ve entered the heat of presidential campaign season when people start putting lawn signs in their yards. That’s just what’s happened starting this month, with lawn signs designed to support presidential candidates in particular states, like this Oregon for Edwards yard sign, promoting Democrat John Edwards in the presidential election in Oregon.

Nationwide, online measures such as search engine statistics show a lackluster interest in the 2008 presidential campaign. On a national level, many people seem not to care much who the next President is, so long as it isn’t a Republican.

Let’s cross our fingers and hope that personal displays of political interest, through objects like this lawn sign, encourages greater citizen participation at the state level.
