I just wanted to express my excitement at seeing another obama sticker today
I don't often have time of my own to peruse the parking lots for bumper stickers. I have seen a few. I don't remember seeing any McCain stickers, though during the primaries my brother in law had a Fred Thompson one. But no McCain ones yet. But now, besides my own, I have seen two or three.

Now, granted, I live in New York. But there are a lot of Republicans around where I live. To date, I have had two fervent Republican relatives state that they aren't going to vote because they do not like their choices. They do NOT like McCain. I would prefer they vote, even if it is for McCain, but it shows the level of enthusiasm around where I live for the 'maverick'.

I have had one democratic relative say she wasn't voting for Obama because she doesn't like him. she liked Hillary, I think. I also have a sister who isn't sure what to think. She isn't sure about Obama. She says she doesn't know enough about him. I have offered to help her with anything she may be concerned about.

I am interested to see the level of increased participation as the election gets closer.

1. If your relatives prefer not to vote instead of voting for McCain,

please don't dissuade them. ;)
And we're seeing a few Obama stickers in Houston, no McCain yet, so that's very inspiring to me, too.

3. whether they vote or not for mccain wouldn't matter.
mccain has no chance in this state. I just think it's stupid to just not vote. i'm going to take my marbles and go home. wahh. Do your homework, look at platforms and issues and find someone who most closely resembles what you want. Hell! write in a damned name. But let your voice be heard! Otherwise, you don't have a right to complain. Unfortunately, I believe, for so many, people don't want to have to do more than look for the R or D or whatever party they are in and vote on that line. It might take too much effort to find out anything about who you are voting for.

2. Using a page from the GOP....we must use Truth in an attempt to denigrate McVain for what he is
Negative ads is one thing...Truthful ads to tear down the facades of the GOP is another...

Come, we expose the Driving Force of the GOP...BULLYISM....They wanna be in charge...not for benevolent reasons but for selfgain and selfinterest...Bush and McCaine are prime examples...they FOOL People into trusting...without really earning it...like photo ops, its all imagery

Both are mental retards when compared to those who are astute,,,and yet they ask us to listen to them when they speak...and when we listen, what do we hear...BS Crap and Spin...hardly any substance and real solutions....gut feelings don't cut it on this level.

4. I'm seeing a ton of Obama stickers....
... here in Colorado Springs - which of course, is Jesus' home town!

It's good to see a few Cynthia McKinney and Ralph Nader stickers around here too, which shows that local voters are thinking outside the box a little more this time around.

But if Insane McCain is struggling in this mile-high stronghold of violence, hatred and hypocrisy, then it's pretty much in the bag for Obama already.
