Liberal MP's election sign appears

We're not into an election just yet, however, one Liberal MP's campaign sign has popped up (or, should I say, washed up) on a beach in Ireland!

Humm, washed up... a sign of things to come? ;-)

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has rejected the rampant speculation about a federal election this fall, but a Newfoundland Liberal MP's campaign sign has already popped up -- on a beach along the northwest coast of Ireland.

In a bizarre case of trans-Atlantic politicking, a lawn sign urging voters to support Bonavista-area Liberal candidate Scott Simms has come ashore some 3,500 kilometres away -- on the Irish isle of Achill -- after apparently spending more than three years bobbing its way across the ocean.

The sign's incredible journey has grabbed headlines in Ireland and left Simms -- now the Liberal critic for Fisheries and Oceans, and a former Weather Network broadcaster -- with a serious forecasting challenge: Is it a sign of buoyant hopes for Stephane Dion's embattled Liberal troops, or a grim omen for a washed up party?
