It’s another of our “Willow Glen Mosts” … this time, WGx awards “Most Obvious Political Lawn Sign Color” … The votes are finally all in, and the tally is complete: The official winner in the balloting to replace Ken Yeager is … the Color Green!

You probably saw this coming. Right after David Pandori (who carried District 6 and Willow Glen in the June Mayoral Primary) said this at a debate focusing on the environment:

“If you look at my campaign signs, you might notice a color, and it’s not a coincidence,” Pandori said. “The color is green.”

Pierluigi Oliverio probably wins the lawn-sign-vote-count outright, with more signs in WG than most other candidates. The cute “olive” drawing suggests creativity, although we’re not sure why he choose “From Here For Us” as his website address. At press time, PierluigiOliverio.com was still available for registration … was he worried we couldn’t spell it?

It’s tough to tell with the naked eye, but Tedesco’s green does seem a little darker than Oliverio’s, and his signs recall the Italian flag more effectively (albeit it’s rotated 90-degrees) … hey, they won the World Cup!

The first Art Maurice lawn sign in WG was spotted early last week, indicating that all of the candidates had voted in this critical election. Maurice’s signs show a down-to-earth light green coloring the leaves of a tree, with his name in the same color. The candidate from the Rosegarden-Cory neighborhood knows how to appeal to WG.

Clark Williams wins the biggest sign contest (although Maurice challenged him in the width department), but that shade of greeen seems a touch bland. Is it pea green? There are other, less-savory words that could be used to decribe it, but certainly it’s not olive green?

Of course, the very first vote had been cast by Jim Spence years ago when he last ran for City Council, with his retro blue and hot pink signs. But, he’s a green candidate none-the-less, earning kudows for recycling his old signs in the true spirit of “reduce-reuse-recycle.”

We’ll find out whether these signs mean anything on November 7.
