Two political signs on one house's lawn. Including little owner-added jabs. It's not enough to show support for a candidate -- the competing candidate must also be insulted.

Was the apostrophe on the original Coleman sign backwards, do you think, or did the clever homeowner like it better that way?
Thanks for bringing it up! I wanted to talk about that backwards apostrophe, but I decided to leave the design of the signs alone. However, now that you mention it. . . .
The "Norm" font looks like Optima and that matches the typeface on the McCain poster. I wonder if that was done on purpose. The rest of Coleman's sign looks like various Helvetica styles. I don't think Helvetica and Optima are visually compatible (unless the designer is trying to set up a visual clash).
And the wrong-facing apostrophe is one of those things that happens so often that I think designers (and people who use design software) are starting to see it as right. It's still wrong.
