Covering all the bases or I support the everything

Seeing as how it's Elect a Supervisor time here in St. Francis Town, it's hard not to walk down a city street without seeing a campaign sign hung from a window. Sometimes, you can't help but not see several signs hanging from windows -- sometimes the same window. Sometimes, competitors share the same window.

I always wondered how it is a candidate gets a merchant to hang his or sign. Was there a stump speech? A bribe? A healthy tip in the tip jar?

The more I think about it, the more I think, 'No. Someone just handed them a fucking sign.'

Here are some examples.


Three competing supe candidates, a Peace Mom for Peace, and a Pacific Gas & Electric Co special, on a coffee shop door. Why not? It's a Big Tent.

In District 3, we have three out of 9, or 33.3333333 percent on one corner.

Three, from left to right. Does Joe's sign's sagging mean anything for the son of an Alioto?
