Captionable: Randy Baumgardner's Yard Sign

  • 30 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

IMG_3324

It's the first occasion we've had to lay eyes on one of minor Republican U.S. Senate candidate Randy Baumgardner's campaign signs. To be perfectly honest, we're a little surprised that Baumgardner could afford a yard sign, but there it is proving us wrong.

This gives us one more chance to ponder Baumgardner's iconic mustache/cowboy hat silhouette logo, which appears on all of his Senate campaign materials so we assume he's very proud of it. Free association testing with this logo we've been present for has likened it to 1970s porn, a neon sign for a bad steakhouse, and (this one probably gets the most votes) dependable pre-owned cars.

What does Randy's logo make you think? Please keep it PG-13 if possible.

  1. Lead with your strengths–a moustache and big hat in this case.  What else does Randy have to offer?  I mean besides terrible 'western' font type?  

      1. Right – and that's a violation of election laws. Sure says a lot about how responsible Baumgardner would be as a U.S. Senator – as if that would ever happen in a million, billion years.

  2. I like it.
    It is different; probably captures some of this fellow's character.

    A little creativity once in awhile is refreshing — we will see plenty enough of the red, white and blue, block Helvetica yard signs come the fall campaigns, won't we?

    1. Sitting here on a Sunday morningm, trying to behave myself, drinking my last cup of coffee—I saw the Kit.Kat. Lasagna–instantly gained 10 pounds!

  3. I look forward to seeing this sign posted in the window of Pueblo Republican HQ. They've already got one of Baumgardner's old signs up. They had to do a big switcheroo when Gardner and Buck do-si-doed offices.

    Right next door to the Tancredo office, which is never, ever open. I'll post pics at some point.

  4. Thanks for the LOLs this morning. I think the "empty head" meme really works in responding to this logo – and kudos to JBJK16 for coining the term "hatstache"!

    But I also agree that this is an eye-catching outside-the-box sign that will probably work for some people.
