Why on Many Lawns That Display a McCain Sign Do You Not Also See a Kennedy One?

If you drive around Uptown New Orleans, off the main avenues and into the neighborhoods, you’ll actually see a surprising number of McCain/Palin signs. They easily outnumber the Obama ones. When you see an Obama sign you almost always see a Landrieu one too. But when you see a McCain one you rarely see a Kennedy sign.  Most of the time all you’ll see is a McCain sign on a lawn. Alone.

I would suspect that many of those who have Obama signs probably got those signs at Landrieu headquarters, but why isn’t this the case with Kennedy? I do think of course that many of those who have McCain signs will vote for Kennedy, if they vote for anyone. But I also think that nearly all of those that have Obama signs will also vote for Landrieu.

It is this lack of enthusiasm on the part of Republicans for Kennedy’s campaign that could well doom Kennedy. Four years ago if you’d see a “W” or Bush sign, you can bet you saw a Vitter one too.

Because many New Orleanians are stupid and will vote for Katrina Mary.

If I would have been Kennedy’s campaign manager I would have tied Katrina Mary to Blanco. I’d have replayed all the press conferences with KB and KML. I’d have done the same with Cazooo.

If you would have been Kennedy’s campaign manager in 2004 what would you have done against Vitter?

You may get to answer that in 10 when Kennedy becomes an Independent to run against the ##### monger.

I’ve seen many Obama signs on lawns and no Landrieu sign, why do you think that is?

I wouldn’t have waited until after the election to talk about the prostitutes.

When Kennedy flips over to Libertarian or moon beam or whatever he will change to after he loses he will then attack Vitter for being a HO monger
