Sho Dozono appears to be winning the mayoral lawn sign race here in Sellwood by a 5-1 margin. If lawn signs were an accurate measure of a candidate's popularity (I don't really believe they are --his $money$ maybe), I'd say that Dozono would surely win the Democratic vote for Mayor here in ultra-Democratic Sellwood. (And the non-Democratic vote, too. A couple of houses displaying Dozono signs are owned by Republicans.)
On the other hand, Sam Adams voiced early opposition to the proposed Sellwood Wal-Mart and showed up at several neighborhood events, including the screening of Robert Greenwald's documentary, The High Price of Low Cost, at the Moreland Theater. Since there are still a few No Sellwood Wal-Mart signs up in the 'hood, that has to count for something.
On a related political note, the lawn sign race here for Democratic U.S. Senate candidate appears to be a landslide victory for Steve Novick, 10-1, maybe even 20-1. (I have two Novick signs, but everybody else just has one. I think.)
