Soon, the Eastern Seaboard will be in "peak season" for the leaves changing colors. Analagous to that, it seems that today is the "peak season" for political flyers hitting my mailbox. Those were today's offerings to the dead tree advertising Gods. My postman is dragging his butt through the neighborhood, and I'm sure he can't wait until this political season is done. BTW, they don't spend a lot of time in the house before being recycled. Sort of like real estate post cards.
Why so many? Tomorrow is Primary Day in Maryland. Have to get those last licks in before then. If they don't make it past tomorrow, they have to go back to their real jobs. There were a bunch of really nasty ones today. I guess they still believe that negative advertising still works.
Flyers, robocalls, standing on the highway and waving, aren't the behaviors that impress me. Actual accomplishments impress me. Unfortunately, many politicians, whether Local, State, or National, run on intentions, and not real accomplishments. They like to tell us what they "want" to do, not what they've actually done.
This is one of the few times that I have access to those incumbents, or wannabe incumbents. After they're in office, they're harder to find than a Unicorn. A few have knocked on my door and have left quite uncomfortable, when I asked them pointed questions.
So I will revel in the attention I'm getting today, because I know that after tomorrow it will be another dry spell before the real elections in November.
If you don't vote tomorrow, don't complain. This is where it all starts.

That's funny. They don't like my questions either!
Rich, If more people would make informed decisions based on facts, we'd be in better shape as a country. I would have loved to see their faces when you asked them 'real' questions on the fly rather than the rehearsed scripted questions they're used to.
Good post - it is ashame all of us have to run our business on our own accomplishments - how about these elected officials???
Our primaries were a few weeks ago. I am anticipating a wave of flyers from here to November. Won't change my mind though. Any incumbant is not getting my vote this election. Sorry Congress, you blew it.
Good for the printers, bad for the trees. Our municipal elections just got under way and signs and flyers are everywhere you look.
It makes me crazy! Because we are a house divided, we get inundated with both parties!
Doesn't look like there's a memorable message in any of that printed fluff. Here's to hoping that whoever gets elected can help your district.
isn't it amazing how much attention they give you in order to get your vote? What is more amazing is that people fall for it every 2 years.
