Vandalism in the Valley

The ugly side of campaigning appears yet again. And yes, in the cliche that is politics in the lower valley. This is the vandalism that was done to Mary Gonzalez's signs.

These are signs that are just a matter of feet from her home in Clint.

What is the point of such a personal attack? And why such a stupid attack? Comunista? What is this Cuba? This might be the dumbest attack I've ever seen. But its so personal and thats why its infuriating. Who does this kind of crap?

And people screwing with signs has happened much more this election than in previous elections. Liza Montelongo's campaign happened to have been the target of a very coordinated attack on her signs throughout Precinct 1. 

It wasn't and isolated attack either. Here is another sign.

This isn't some random act. This was strategic and personal. It has a message and its targeted specifically at Gonzalez. So its not some kid just screwing around in the middle of the night with some spray paint. Its an act of desperation.

There is no indication that the activity is specifically engineered by a rival campaign. But it is absolutely not a random act.

The race has reached a fever pitch with both major campaigns dropping mailers. 

I'll post updates as more information comes available.
