I can only wonder what you mean by "plenty" -- I spend every day driving through that area (and actually live in one of the more conservative parts of it), and have never seen anything like that. Oh, sure, you'll get a smattering of yellow "support our troops" ribbon magnets (particularly on SUVs), but hardly ever do you see any wingnut stickers. And, for the record, I see Obama bumper stickers -- not many, but at least one or two -- every day.

OTOH, the reason you don't see many such stickers here as opposed to Oregon is simple: we had our presidential selection event on February 9th, while yours was on May 20th -- almost three and a half months later. As Obama's popularity has soared, so has the production of his campaign materials. Back on 2/9 (the weekend after Super Tuesday, it should be noted, and the same weekend as several other caucuses and primaries nationwide) the campaign showed up at the caucus sites equipped with lots of buttons and flyers covering his positions on major issues, but no bumperstickers. Had our caucuses been held in May rather than February, I suspect his campaign would have had many more materials out there as well, just as they did in Oregon.
