Down the ticket, they mean something. But I think people have heard of Barrack Obama. Dantheman has it -signs are a name-rec vector. Down the ticket, they mean something.

When there is a city council race in a smaller town, and you don't know any of the candidates and on paper they are all saying the same thing, then it can make a difference. You drive by the homes of a few people you trust and who know the candidates better than you do, then a yard sign can make a difference. In the rest of the world, though, they are stunningly ineffective. In my neighborhood, of often drive by yards that have the Franken / Obama / Madia / local house race signs all wedged together. When I do, my first thought is "blind partisan". Yard signs work in one instance: The most local of elections.

Their weekly consignment of 9000 signs was gone in less than one day. No buttons, no t-shirts no bumperstickers... All sold out. We came home and made our own window sign with our five year old son.
