Eyes Off the Road?
Huntsman’s is Red on Black, reminds you of a Michelob label.
Dad Made Chemicals
Perry’s is Red White and Blue–Obama’s colors. Perry IS dumb!
Why Not Rick?
Newt’s are dark blue with Newt in thin White type and yes Red too, but less an Obama shade.
Romney’s is soothing Blue with White letters, a corporate as you can get.
Ron Paul’s guys hung up a huge bedsheet that said:
Ron Paul Peace
Bedsheet For Paul
An so it goes in New Hampshire.
If you’re sick of Iowa, Iowa, Iowa, come to the Granite State. The primary is Jan 10, just 7 days after Iowa , Iowa, Iowa.
The thicket of signs that we saw were on a triangular patch of grass in Stratham, near Postsmouth. In New Hampshire people cringe at the phone calls, mailers and TV ads that assault them throughout the day, just as people do all over the country. But they know it will be over 11 days.
A quick survey of private houses in the Portsmouth suburbs seemed to show more Romney signs than others. As the former governor of next door Massachusetts Romney is a favorite son. A loss in the Granite State would be a huge blow to his campaign.
Ron Paul is said to be running well with his loyalists troops. Newt had the most signs clustered on the green, but that doesn’t mean much.
So what about the colors? If you’re selling magazines on a newsstand, there is no better background than white. Boring as white is, it allow you to read the cover language in the time of a handclap. Huntsman’s dark red H seems arrogant and hard to get, especially on black. But no one does this stuff without surveys, testing, consultants and color hue coordinators. You can be sure they’ve dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars already on the sign selection.
I’m sure there’s a good inside story on how they all came to favor black or blue or a bed sheet.
But it’s New Year’s Weekend. Give it a Rest Bob!
