It's an election year in Hawaii. This means that everyone running has their election signs just about everywhere.I think the law in Hawaii is that the sign needs to be on private property...kind of an eye sore, right??
And then there are the sign wavers...people who stand out in the hot sun waving, trying to get your attention for their candidate, hopefully not causing you to get into an accident in the process as you drive past.But, you know what? I would take this type of campaigning any day over the type that Japan has which I've written about here and here.
Like we say, "lucky you live Hawaii".
Such a fun slice of Hawaiian life in these posts! This brings back memories (including of people standing around waving huge shaka-hand signs :)...
ReplyDeleteThanks Jude :)

I'm out of the loop on island politics (it's time for a new governor?), but seeing the pic of the sign waver/holder...yes, lucky we live(d) Hawaii!
ReplyDeleteI find sign wavers VERY annoying--they cover both sides of the main road to my house and slow traffic--argh! But I guess they are better than the loud speakers driving around in Japan. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYah Kat, those ridiculous sound trucks roaming the neighborhoods are/were a really bad!
ReplyDeleteNew everything as far as I can see Rowena ;)
ReplyDeleteWow both sides of the road is a bit much Debinhawaii ;)

Oh yeah these are irritating... and it'll only get worse from now, on the roads and TV. :(
ReplyDeleteBut like you say, could be worse so gotta be thankful! :)
I wonder how other States campaign Lori??
