Am I dreaming????
Today, I drive my Toytoa prius with Obama bump-stick. So I saw a huge Hummer with Obama support bump-stick. In my mind, "What? Who a guy who drive Hummer who Obama Support?"

because He support offshore drill oil? huh?

1. A bit OT.... Have you driven your prius in much snow?
I commute up the CO front range three days a week, about 60 miles each way and I do get in considerable snow... I've heard mixed things about the Prius, though I understand that snow tires would be a necessity. Given how many big dump wet snow storms CO has had in recent years, I'd be particularly interested in whether or not it gets snowbanked easily.

3. A Prius can't do snow any better than a light front wheel drive Corolla.
Most folks around here who need to drive in snow and mud, and who are environmentally sensitive, drive Subarus more than anything.

They offer a nice range of models.

Of course there are some reasonable domestic units. I looked at Ford Escape Hybrids before selecting my Prius.

You're a good car chooser, and getting plenty of mileage out of her!

6. Oversimplified. False Dichotomy. Hummer drivers can support Obama whether he favors
offshore drilling or not.

7. Most certainly...they could have an
entirely different reason for supporting the President.

10. Works the other way around too.
Obama supporters can drive a Hummer because it was a gift, a work requirement, etc.

9. I conduct an unscientific survey about this...
.... all the time when I'm driving. Here in Red America, I still see cars with McCain/Palin stickers ... they, almost without fail, are on SUVs.

The Obama stickers are on compact cars or NON SUV "family" cars.

My favorite was a VW Bus that was COVERED in them.
