Wouldn't you think if I emailed the headquarters of the gubernatorial candidate on Friday to request a lawn sign, that I'd either have a sign, or a return email about it, by now? I know my candidate holds a significant lead in the polls, but do they think he doesn't need more visible support?

Most campaigns, even big, well funded ones, are woe-fully understaffed, and to combat that problem they staff partly with volunteers. And, as you may have heard, you get what you pay for.

I would try calling them. It may also be possible that they're out of signs - many campaigns have xx number printed at the start and when they're gone they're gone.

That actually sounds pretty reasonable. Signs are mostly good for name recognition; once you've reached saturation, you probably don't need any more.
