Dug, I can only tell you of experience from my area and hope it helps you.
It seems signs are only to provide name regonition nothing much more (my opinion). The local newspaper here runs an add which lists each candidate with a picture and describes background information. After the background information it lists a statement on candidate issues. Also, you must get your message out to the people and many have made good suggestions, like civics groups, etc..... Getting on talk radio and getting support from talk radio helps a lot. A positive and energetic speach/answers help. I have learned, people dont like to be bother in their private personal time.
Anyway, My suggestion would be to remain positive. Rather than describing "going to war" I would make a statement similar to, " I support responsible government that ensures allocated funds are delivered to the proper areas for their intended purposes". I know this is difficult to remain clean and positive with reporters wanting a fight (to get "the story") and loads of negative people enjoying a fight, but the majority of folks(my opinion again) are getting tired of mud slinging and want someone whom produces what they say. Remember, what you say gets you elected (like someone said below) and mean what you say and know you can do it. If you cant, your opponant will roast you later. They will try to roast you anyway, but deliver and then you can say, "see we can do it". Remember to try to stay positive with the negative subjects.

Good Luck.
