As I drive around, I've noticed that very few cars around here have bumper stickers... [View all]

I have a bunch (DU front and back, Turn Off Fox News, the blue Democrats one, several Obamas - just a couple of non-political ones - Ocracoke Beach and profile of a labrador retriever).

so it got me wondering if there was a correlation between political activity and bumper stickers - do most of those who don't have them prefer not to make their views known? Or just are not politically active?

Hence this poll! Just curious....would love to hear about reasoning for what you choose to do.

I never, ever had them until the 2000 then 2004 election thefts -starting in 2004, wearing my lefty stickers with pride (and always amused at people's reactions to them).
