2012 Election: Crawling from the Wreckage
After months (and years) of campaigning, election campaigns just come to an end.
Maybe, it's not fair, but the media usually gives the prerequisite 48 hours before they talk about the next campaign that is four years down the road.
Everyone is ready to move on.
Still, once it's all done, one might wonder what you do with some of the things you no longer need.
Like a 300 pound sign shaped like Iowa that says Romney on it.
Well, there's always Craigslist.
Local TV said someone bought it for $150, though the only thing I found online said it was actually picked up for free, but was worth $150 (if melted down and sold for scrap metal).
In any case, this is the guy who added it to his political memorabilia collection (Mrs. Bedsitter would surely have vetoed this):
Yes, he is a Republican, though he is a collector, and said he would have likely done the same if it was an Obama sign.
In any case, it ended up as a great show of bipartisanship...
“I got my older brother Andrew, who is a huge Obama Democrat—He is one of the guys who helped move it.”
