Saturday Election Roundup
Nov 3, 2007 15:46 - 3 Comments
>Rockville Central typically stays dark for the weekend, barring interesting tidbits. This weekend is the last one before Election Day, and many readers are no doubt pondering their choices for Tuesday, November 6. And, many candidates are putting in last-ditch efforts to make sure public opinion sways their way.
So, rather than inundate your in boxes, we decided to create one omnibus election roundup today. So, here are the highlights.
Get Informed
First, we recommend, if you have a minute, listening to and reading the candidate interviews we conducted of every candidate.
when you’re done, you might want to take a look at a few other election guides. There’s one in the Washington Post, one in the Town Courier, one in the Gazette, and one on the City’s election page.
Candidate Mailers
I thought I had dodged a bullet when the postman came and there was no election-related material in my mailbox. But then I went out to a Cub Scout event and returned to a sheaf of flyers stuffed in my door. Here they are, below. (Click each thumbnail for a larger photo, or go here for the whole album of all election flyers and mailers I have received.)

New Yard Sign!
I have been looking and not finding . . . but just this morning I spotted a yard sign for Theo Anderson (running for City Council). Here’s a snap (click it for a bigger version):
Go here for the album of all the yard signs. Or watch the slideshow:
Signs Hijinx
I have received a report that yard signs for Tracy Pakulniewicz-Chidiac and Susan Hoffmann have been taken away in the Baltimore Road area. Keep it together, people! You just have a few more days, don’t succumb to bad behavior, no matter how much you want your person to win. (Please report downed campaign yard signs and I will pass them on.)
Election Night Celebrations
We are planning a listing of all the election-night celebrations, for all you who want to celebrate or commiserate with your candidates in person. Most candidates have public events, open to all. Expect that on Monday.
One Last Thing
Remember, if you are not registered to vote, it’s OK! You can register and vote in one easy step on Election Day, but you must do so at City Hall (111 Maryland Street).

One wonders how >Real Rockville PAC can afford to stuff flyers door-to-door, when only $119 of in kind website design effort have been reported?
I think I saw a different looking Theo Anderson yard sign on Martins Lane, not brown and yellow but dark blue with stars. Anyone else seen it?>

Waddington Place
I saw the Anderson sign, too. It looked like it had been put together on the fly, with adhesive paper. The ones I saw were peeling apart. I d didn’t see them until too late to include.
