Gone is the very cute I’ve been everywhere man, on MSNBC we see a more conventional commercial touting service.
Oh and he is upping his signs I saw three on the way to taking my son to school. I’m sure he would have been happier if one was on a lawn instead of in a wooded area. The 2/3 of the Bill Gunn signs I saw on the same trip were in front of houses or businesses and not hidden.
BTW Bill will be at the Leominster public Library for a town hall. if you are in ma-1 you need to be there.

Update: The link for byebyebarney was right but it said .com instead of the correct .org, my bad
