Sayre Sign Campaign Rolls On!


Name Recognition, Name Recognition, Name Recognition.... That's what it takes for a new comer to politics to beat a three term incumbent... The blogs reach the decision makers and on-line political junkies, but signs, especially big Red 4' x 8' signs reach the electorate.

Signs raise the consciousness of the motorist, and make you ask someone, what are those signs up for? Who is that guy? What is he/she running for?

The Sign machine is in full swing in Augusta County, and the beauty is we are 'scoring' locations we never had during the "W", Kilgore, or Allen Campaigns... people are just coming out of the wood work with them.... As a matter of fact we haven't had time to get to our old locations because of the new ones!

Alot of this has to do with Scott Sayre's deep roots in Augusta, Rockbridge and Highland Counties. He has family all over, He grew up in the City of Waynesboro (sleepiest part of SWAC Machine), a successful business in Rockbridge, and has owned land in Highland for over a decade.

All and all, we like to think we put up more signs per capita of any unit in the state, but we have never had penetration like this before into the hinterlands of the County.. Which is the second largest county in Virginia in land mass. It is also really exciting to co-operate with other counties, which never really happened in the aforementioned campaigns... (we usually scarfed their signs, because of stingy campaigns, and are damn proud of it!)

Which really goes to show you that, well... I'll let you political types think about that...
