Seriously, where are the McCain bumper stickers?
I live in San Diego County, I haven't seen ONE. Will this election be a landslide or what?

36. I live in San Mateo & work in Palo Alto
I haven't seen one McCain sticker or lawn sign. We have an apartment in Burbank for my husband's job and he hasn't seen one there either.

I see lots of Obama signs, stickers, buttons and tees here though!

64. Two...
around Oakland. One also had an Operation Chaos sticker as well. The car came from a Walnut Creek dealership. Figures.

Meanwhile, I'm seeing Obama lawn signs on mansions, even in Piedmont, in the area where all the retired Chevron execs live. When those people want change, something is definitely up.

3. McCain hasn't quite caught up with the whole "car" thing.
If they could make something that would stick to a horse's ass, he'd be all over it.

McCain is having to run ads in his own home state.

and I've been looking everywhere for them.
I have seen some Obama stickers, saw one HRC sticker, and last weekend saw a "Vote Democratic" sticker.

31. I actually do see a few, mostly in the East Valley. But very few.
I've seen exactly one yard sign so far. This was in LD11, where McCain's official residence address is, so it might have been his house. :P

And there are more Obama stickers on cars than McCain. Although, I hate to admit it, there are probably still more BushCheney 2004 stickers than Obama. A recent poll only had McCain up by 6 points. The repubs will win the state, but that's still significant when you consider that Bush won the state by 16 and 17 points the two times he ran.

I haven't seen a bumper sticker for anyone and I know no one who would put one their car. They are impossible to get off and it mars the cars finish.

about marring the finish.

I display my Obama '08 bumper sticker with great pride. :-)

here in Colorado. It was on a Mercedes.

And I saw a hand-made McCain sign near where I live, and I'm sure the rains has already taken care of it (or at least I hope it did)

Yesterday evening we got a nice cool breeze & it smelled like rain, but I could count the number of drops on our back porch. :cry:

My lawn is crisp & my tomatoes need water twice a day.

But knowing in the last two months, the rain has been maybe, 5" at best.

Yeah, my mom's tomatoes need water and it gets a nice sprinkle a few times a day - the tomatoes were delicious when she served them with chopped liver.. mmm. (No Lecter jokes here, please)

32. Primaries are over and they probably put in their order for signs until convention time.
When they have their VP nominee determined.

Obama campaign will be going thru the same thing. There will be few signs put out other than those that went out during the primaries.

33. Last I heard they were being given away with $10 bills and only a few homeless showed up...after
sucking up free beer and food...took the money and left...leaving back the stickers

So they got tons of stickers for anyone...even $10 to go alnog with each of them

Poor GOP, desperately trying to give um away

37. Well I'm not in a location where I expect to see many
but I did see one in Chicago last week (the car had Kentucky plates though). I've seen a couple in suburban Chicago, outside of Cook County (which are traditionally Red counties like DuPage and Kane) but not many there either. I work in Gary, IN and have seen way more Obama bumper stickers there than McCain too.

42. Here in "red state" Iowa, I haven't seen any and...
In our small town 4th of July parade, the Republican party had a bunch of folks marching....they had signs for all the local, state and congressional candidates, but not a single McCain sign anywhere in the whole bunch.

The county Dems, by contrast had several people with Obama signs.

Interesting at the very least!

44. Poison ivy
It should be a landslide - Bush, the GOP and their policies are discredited and seen for what they are - discredited, unAmerican and disastrous.

In terms of signs on bumpers and in yards - I see very few of either yet. The one McCain yard sign I see is almost obscured by weeds and looks like it is entangled in poison ivy.

This should be a landslide but never good to be complacent. We need dem victories across the board. There is so much damage to be undone and we need to give Obama the room to be a little more "radical" without political damage.

46. I have yet to see a single McCain sticker or yard sign here in WV.
I've seen quite a few for Obama, however. I went for a block around my neighborhood the other day and noticed that 4 new Obama yard signs had popped up. The most telling one of all was the yard in which a Hillary sign had been removed and neatly placed aside, with Obama taking its place.

I attribute the above to the extreme lack of excitement for McCain. He'll still win WV, but few people here actually like him. They're merely voting against Obama.

Now that I think about it, I haven't seen any McCain.
We still see "W 04" and "Bush/Cheney". No McCain.

Plus I pointed out a Kerry-Edwards yesterday.

Interesting. Will look. I know one of the Repubs I work with told me he wasn't thrilled with McCain because he "doesn't represent Republican values".

Edited on Fri Jul-18-08 08:49 PM by ChimpersMcSmirkers
It sucks, but a job is a job and at least my car gets decent mileage. Anyway, in the last 4 months, I've seen exactly one McKeating5 sticker. Maybe a handful of *, and about 15 Obama stickers.

What's really interesting is that I was in Hanover County today, which is a Republican exurb (71-28, shrub '04), and saw an Obama sticker on an SUV(gasp) :P. My wife also happened to be in Hanover a few days ago and saw an Obama and a Webb sticker on a pickup.

He two other stickers on his car - a Marines sticker and a sticker indicating that he'd been in Iraq - so apprently he's voting for McCain because he had such a good time in Iraq that he wants to go back and make sure we stay another 100 years??
