How many 2008 candidate bumper stickers have you seen so far?
I've seen hardly any here in Connecticut. On the Dem side, I've seen one Dodd (I'm in Connecticut) and one for Obama. For the Republics, I've only seen one Rudy 2008 and nothing for anybody else. I have seen a couple of Al Gore ones.

The "W'08" stickers that have been around for years.

Oh, and I also spotted a Romney '08 sticker and an "Anyone but Hillary T-Shirt."

This is my Gore '08 Sticker:

Well, a few people have bought "Eat your spinach and vote for Kucinich" stickers from my gf's store online.

and Yes Jesus was a Jewish Liberal. I wonder if people realize that Jesus was never a catholic nor a protestant nor even a christian.

However you can call his followers Catholics, Protestants and Christians.

3. Here in Columbus, Ohio
Off the top of my head, I'd say I've seen more Obama 08 stickers than anyone else, D or R. I've seen a couple Edwards and Hillary stickers too. Maybe a Kucinich, but not sure about that. Very early in the campaign, I did see some McCain stickers on the R side, and I may have seen a Romney sticker recently. But for sure, Obama stickers are predominant.

4. Hey, Jeff. If I've seen any 08 political bumperstickers I haven't remembered them.
At least not from my perch in New Haven. I still see old W stickers from 04 and I always wonder at the nerve people have to keep those stickers on their cars!

I still have my Ned Lamont sticker. It fit perfectly over my Kerry/Edwards sticker. Now I have 2 to take off. I see a few Lamont stickers on other cars, which is nice!

8. I've seen more Kerry/Edwards and W stickers
than anything for 2008. I did a double-take when I saw the Dodd one the other week, and since I saw an Obama one yesterday, I figured I'd ask.

6. No Democratic candidate stickers, one for Giuliani
I should note that I live near the nouveau riche asswipe part of town and still see a lot of Wastikas on a lot of cars, too. I do occasionally see an "I Miss Bill" bumpersticker, though.

7. That's like Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving.
I'd rather not see them until 2008. Just seems too early and gives me the feeling the country will be burned out on it all before the election.

29. Yup, I see lot more Kerry/Edwards than 2008ers.
I think I've seen one for Clinton, a couple for Obama, and on the GOP side one for Mr. 911.

10. Saw one "Rudy 2008" as well, but that's all
Just about laughed myself off the road with that one! :D

Of course, I laughed whole-heartedly when Bush the (soon-to-be) Unelected won the GOP primary in 2000...:(

11. I remember that back in 2000
When McCain & Bush were running, I thought for sure that McCain would have been tougher in the General Election. Who knows, maybe he would have been?

Edited on Fri Aug-31-07 09:39 AM by zulchzulu
I've seen a dozen vintage Kucinich (04), a Gravel, about a dozen Obama's, a couple Gore hybrids, a Hillary Clinton and perhaps a sideways allegience to Edwards with a few Kerry/Edwards stickers. Of course, a few Naders... :crazy:

I've given away at least 200 Obama bumperstickers to people in Madison and will give out more tomorrow...people from all over the country are grabbing those like hotcakes. I'd like to actually put them on their cars as part of the deal...

I forgot...I saw a Rudy on a Lincoln Continental land yacht with NY tags a week or so ago.

16. This is Mass. and I haven't seen ONE... it's eerie.
I did see a "REVOLUTION '08" bumpersticker, and that was beside one that said "THEY ALL SUCK" (don't know if that one was candidate-driven, but they both looked new.

18. I live in MA and, also, have not seen even ONE. People are still keeping an open mind, I guess.
After all, the election is still over a year away.

I have a bumper sticker on my car (first time), but it's not for
a candidate. It says, "Well, at least the war on the environment
is going well."

41. TC, you need THIS bumper sticker!
Please allow me to send you a big ol' stack of RFK Jr. stickers, which you can blanket MA with. Hey, ya gotta have these babies in Boston!:)

Anybody else who wants some RFK Jr. stickers (see design below), just drop me a PM, let me know how many you need and where to send `em.

Even if he doesn't run this time, imagine what cool collectors items they will be someday.;)

17. Quite a few Ron Paul bumper stickers in Austin
Also small signs for Ron Paul stuck out along the inner-city loop. This surprises me as Ron Paul well liked in his district but your basic Texas GOP voter would most likely go for someone who is pro-military.


Still have my Kerry/Edward 04 sticker and Impeach Bush but they're getting mighty faded.

can't even listen to his music without thinking of what a wholly unmitigated douchebag Kinky is.

23. Here in MI I've seen support for only ONE candidate
and it was Ron Paul.

I saw one bumper sticker and one banner that said "Ron Paul Revolution".

I may have seen an Obama sticker, but I'm not sure...

I don't see a whole lot of interest in this race...

24. Quite a few
But then again, I live and work in Manchester.

On the Democratic side, I've seen a lot of Obama, followed by Clinton, with the others almost non-existent. The only Edwards stickers I've seen have been on out-of-state cars parked near the campaign's offices on Hanover St.

For the GOP, it's a much thinner crop. A few Romney, Giuliani and Ron Paul stickers, and I saw a Huckabee one for the first time last night. A Republican friend of mine had a Tommy Thompson sticker, but we know how that ended!

I think that's been it---maybe a Kucinich one too. I'm in California; I think there isn't a whole lot of enthusiasm for the candidates we have to choose from.

a repuke or an Obama supporter. Other candidates support is very sporadic.

28. I think most people are not decided or don't care. that is why I don't follow polls.
I don't care if obama is on top or whoever else. it's august and I think most people have not paid much attention and decided yet.
Tell me in December where the polls and support is.

31. In Palm Beach County
Democrats -- 1 for Obama / 2 for Hillary / 1 for Biden

That's about it. I still see mostly old Kerry/Edwards stickers.

Republicans -- I've seen one "Rudy" sticker. And someone planted a Ron Paul sign just off of Yamato Rd in Boca Raton before the FAU campus. Fortunately, I rarely see any JEB! stickers left.

35. In my blood red county (in a blue state), I still see mostly Bush/Cheney and W'04 stickers
The past few weeks, however, I've seen 2 Obamas, 1 Hillary, 1 Paul, one that read "Gore/Obama '08", and 2 dumb anti-Hillary stickers: "Another Clinton in the White House? Hill No!" and "Stop Hillary '08".

37. Very few
But Texas's primary is held after the nominee has already been decided, generally, so it's not too surprising that there isn't much campaigning going on. Of candidate stickers, I've seen the most for Obama by far, and I saw most of these while I was living in Austin; at least a dozen or so. Besides Obama, all I've seen is one Hillary and one Ron Paul.

(REP-tilian elegant :rofl: , black) "W" stickers have disappeared over the last couple of years.
Use to see quite a few, don't see any now.


I have a large family and we (all) have happily watched as all remnants of W's "ROT" has gone :nuke:


My very large family, voting age women & men, and our friends support Hillary, so I most likely would notice Hillary stuff.

I am please to report both; the downfall of the "W" and the beginning of Democratic stickers - Democratic Support happening in the Birmingham (Alabama) Metropolitan area.



I have been told by members in the northern part of the state, they also are seeing great support for Democrats.

And no "my man mitch!" bumperstickers so far - though since shortly after the gov.s election "Ditch Mitch!" and similar other bumperstickers started to appear.

42. Just a handful. A couple for HClinton, a couple for Edwards, a couple for Obama,
one for Joe Biden. A few Kucinich 04s.

Nothing so far for Gov. Richardson, Sens. Dodd and Gravel.

Probably things will pick up this fall quite a bit.

I have seen zero for Romney, Giuliani, McCain, or any other Puke candidates.

45. Even though I live in NJ and traveled through NY and CT to take a daughter to college in MA,
I have seen only about 4 or 5 Obama stickers (1 in Ct, the rest in NJ) and 2 Ron Paul stickers (!) in CT. We were specificly looking for them. I saw far more Kerry/Edwards and Kerry (2004 primary stickers), but not many. Only a few W ones too (yeah, they should be ashamed.)

Mostly on Priuses or Civics. Kerry/Edwards still seems to be more prevalent than either of those, however.

No Republic ones yet.
