Dino Rossi is a three time loser Republican, 2 losses for Washington State Governor, 1 for US Senate. Now seen as a perennial candidate, his supporters never bother to take down his signs and his name has become part of the local landscape-- but to his detriment politically since even though he's not been in the State Senate for almost a decade, the fact his signs are still up paints him as a career politician.
Actually, I don't have anything against career politicians, they are professionals and can get things done if you are lucky enough to be represented by a decent one. However, in Rossi's case, he'll need the Tea Baggers if he wants to ever win. And keeping these signs up even though he's lost three times will not help his case with that crew at this point in history, in spite of the fact he's right of center on the political spectrum.
