VOTE: Head to polls Tuesday | #JohnNotLeon

Porter Gaud graduate Chris Cooper’s Washington company Convergence Targeted Communications designed this clever oversized postcard that landed in Charleston mailboxes in the waning days of the testy runoff mayoral campaign between John Tecklenburg and Leon Stavrinakis. It’s one of the cleverest political mailers we’ve seen in years because of how it mixes humor and history to remind voters to get to the polls Tuesday to vote for Tecklenburg, the candidate we endorsed.

[For you “comeya” folks (recent arrivals), Republican Tommy Hartnett ran in 1992 against then Democratic incumbent U.S. Sen. Fritz Hollings in a narrow race that Hollings won by just 2 percentage points. The Teckenburg mailer reminds voters that even past opponents can agree on some things.]
