The end of the saga of the wandering Olver sign

First there was the Bill Gunn signs everywhere
Then there was the Olver sign at the closed business on John Fitch Highway that was gone in 48 hours.
48 Hours later it moved to Burger King and was gone the same day.
The Olver sign disappears from Burger King
But at last 48 Hours later it has apparently found a permanent home at Jiffy Lube on 541 John Fitch Highway
I talked to the guys at Jiffy Lube. They said a lady came by and asked permission to put the sign up and they agreed. So the 3rd time is the charm and in a city where Bill Gunn signs abound the John Olver’s sign finally has a home.
Awwwwwwwwww
Of course if it changes I’ll let you know.
29 days to election day…

…and the news that is being reported is that democrats are gaining momentum! Morning Joe had Politico reporting this today.
However at the Hill there is a little bug in the report:
Over the past few weeks, Democrats have made steady progress in narrowing the voters enthusiasm gap with Republicans, the White House claimed Sunday.emphasis mine
Oh so this is a White House CLAIM. Based on the president giving a speech in a state that is supposed to be blue. And we are treating it as gospel?
Politico continues to play the Democratic optimism game delegating their caveats to the last three paragraphs:
“It speaks volumes about the current political landscape that Democrats in Washington are trying to seek solace in some of the bluest states in the country,” said NRSC spokesman Brian Walsh. “But even in states like California and Washington, our Republican candidates are very much within striking distance, while our candidates in Wisconsin, Connecticut and elsewhere are surging.”
Democrats also continue to face a daunting landscape in gubernatorial races and it’s a revealing sign of the difficulty of the cycle that they’re seizing on polls showing them losing, if by smaller margins, as an indicator of success.
Indeed, part of what might ultimately help Democratic gubernatorial hopefuls is that some races are so clearly beyond repair that the DGA will be able to direct resources into those where their candidates still have a path to victory.
Boy that’s what I call a reason to cheer!
