Maybe I'll have to eat these words, but every day I drive to work and check if the Platner yard signs are still there from the day before. Yup. And every day for the past week, I've tried to find a voter who supported Platner but have since abandoned him — haven't found one yet.

Every day on my drive to work, I check if the Graham Platner yard signs are still there from the day before. They're all still up. And every day for the past week, I've tried to find a voter who supported Platner but have since abandoned him — haven't found any yet.

Thanks for this, Dan! Great added context. I read your book last year, great primer for my new role.

And thought you'd appreciate these old signs sitting in our hallway waiting to be hung. (That's "The Free Press" poking out from behind the Village Soup one)

Thanks so much and do it!
