Accidents and Campaign Signs

I'll be glad when the election is over and the candidates start to clean up their litter, but sometimes I wish it weren't illegal to remove some of them right now. 

I was trying to turn left onto Island Crest from 86th Ave in the pouring rain last night and look what blocked my view of the oncoming traffic:

 

Question #1: Do you think this sign placement helps or hurts this candidate?

Question #2: Which is more dangerous: a campaign sign that blocks the view of traffic, or an idiot who tries to take a picture of it from his car while turning?  :-)
