Mitchell winning sign wars?

I get around the city a good bit, east to west, north to south, and I'm seeing a lot more of those day-glo Mitchell for Mayor signs than I am the Dixon for Mayor signs. The Dixon for Mayor sign I saw in Charles Village tonight was a kind of bland off-white something. Some people dismiss the sign thing in Baltimore political campaigns, saying winning is all about TV money -- how much a candidate has of it. But I still think you can measure intangibles -- buzz, enthusiasm, community immersion -- by political signs. This may turn into an interesting race yet.

All of my neighbors have their orange Mitchell signs up. They are everywhere. However,if you want to see Dixon signs, travel down Coldspring Lane between York Road and The Alameda. That block has her red & white signs up. But please note that strip has the worst streets I've ever seen. You'll need new shocks, struts, and an alignment after your ride, so be prepared. Just tells me the people on this block aren't too bright. I mean they are supporting the current mayor and they won't even complain about the condition of their streets.
