Readers Write: Truth in advertising?

I would like to know why signs appearing in Port Washington promoting Republican candidates are predominantly printed in blue, the color associated with the Democratic Party.  Why do Republicans not use “Republican Red”?

Also, very few posters state the Republican affiliation of the candidate.  If the party is mentioned it is in very small type compared to the rest of the print.

Is blue ink less expensive or are candidates hiding their “true color”, to “put one over” voters in a predominantly Democratic district?
