They are CONSTANTLY out of lawn signs. I was finally able to score one Friday night but they only gave me one because they felt sorry for me having left the previous two times empty-handed (they have a "reserve" supply for VIPs, I guess).
Just so you know, this has never happened before in Massachusetts politics. Usually, like Michael Graham states in this article, Republicans in Massachusetts have a hard time giving these lawn signs away.
During the 2008 campaign, I picked up a McCain/Palin sign at campaign headquarters in Concord and they had hundreds of them piled up. When they got my address, within the next three days, every local Republican candidate drove by my house to ask me if they could add their sign to the McCain/Palin one.
Don't forget that in Massachusetts, putting a Republican lawn sign in your yard can be a risky move. I still have neighbors who won't talk to me because of my lawn signs back in 2008. Others have had the signs trampled or had eggs thrown at their house.
Not so this year. People are actually asking me where I got my sign so they can go get one for themselves.
A re-supply of signs came in about 3 or 4 days ago, 500 arriving at 9 PM close in Littleton. They were gone by noon the next day. The next day after that, 1000 more came. Within about 24 hours, all gone! I drove up to such a pleasant surprise yesterday morning (Saturday) up Goldsmith street to the call center, and it was PLASTERED... a mile stretch with probably 15 signs. BTW, each new day at the call center appears to be a new record of total calls from all the volunteers. A caller can say they are a “volunteer”, as it distinguishes them from the SEIU-types paid to call.
