Grim Milestone Watch, Week Zero: Texas Views
I looked for political messages as I tooled around central Texas recently. The view from the Lone Star State is mixed. Signs for both candidates dotted the landscape, with the predictable urban-rural split. These pictures show some of what I found.
Below, McCain and Obama share the space outside an early-voting place in the arty town of Salado. McCain gets two signs for Obama's one, but, still, this is rural central Texas. I like the way the Obama sign looks like a Texas flag -- sure to win Texas hearts and minds for two good ol' boys from Hawaii/Harvard/Chicago and Delaware.
Not everybody's getting on the Obama bandwagon, as this screed posted on the main street of McGregor indicates.
Finally, I hit the brakes and leaped out of my rental car to snap a picture of this sign. It's not a campaign sign, but it does show the political tendencies the Democrats are bumping up against in parts of Red-State America. And, I didn't even know the Birchers still existed. But in Temple-Belton, they do.
