Title: Candidates R/D with the same first & last names campaigning Post by: 5280 on November 04, 2012, 01:49:07 AM How would presidential/vp candidates running with the same first and last names campaign against each other (2030 election)? Would their yardsigns and apparal have to look distinctive? What would they do to not make it confusing?
Example: Republicans: Roger Zubrowski/ Julie Smith Democrats: Roger Zubrowski/ Julie Smith Title: Re: Candidates R/D with the same first & last names campaigning Post by: H.E.

Barnum ran for Congress, his opponent's last name was also Barnum. Not the same first name, I don't think, and that certainly wasn't the case in Warner vs. Warner.
