Scary Billboard aims to get attention

Klock_billboard_2Gee, what would you do if you were in a crowded field of 10 candidates for Congress, and you are not one of the more well known politicians? Here's an idea, put a really scary billboard up, and get the voters to notice you!  That's the plan for Brian Klock, one of the ten people running for the Republican nomination of Congressional District 22.  With more well known names like Shelley Sekula-Gibbs, and John Manlove running, Klock is trying to stand out from the pack.  A campaign staffer called me this morning, gleefully telling me that the billboard will refocus the voters' attention on terrorism.  In addition, he told me the billboard unveiling news conference will include Bob Perry, one of the most prominent Republican donors.  I was also reminded on the phone that Perry is the driving force behind the "Swift Boat" campaigns, and thus making this a very important endorsement.  I posted a picture of the billboard, it's orange and scary alright.. but will it make you vote for Klock?  We'll go to the news conference, and let you know what's up.
