Palin

It’s high season for political signs. This one went up a few weeks ago on a fence on a residential street in Minneapolis, with clarifying graffiti added later.

Meanwhile, an intriguing Obama-Palin sign face-off is playing out above above Obama’s Minneapolis HQ at Central and E. Hennepin avenues — see it after the jump.

Seventy million tune in a political debate — albeit one with “Hee Haw” appeal — but the Eden Prairie Chamber of Commerce has to cancel a debate in the hot 3rd district congressional race due to poor ticket sales?
