I live in Northern Kentucky, a fairly conservative area. But, so far in this election cycle (mid-June), I have yet to see even ONE Romney sticker or yard sign. I’ve seen a fair number of Ron Paul signs and stickers, and a few stray Gingrich and Santorum stickers (no signs for either of them). There are quite a few Obama 2012 stickers around. But NOTHING for Romney. How about in other areas? Is the whole country free of Romney stickers and signs? ---

I saw one on the car in front of me driving home yesterday. It was something of a surprise. ---

Have not seen any here in NorCal, but now you’ve made it so I’ll be looking high and low! 🙂 ---

I’ve seen a few bumper stickers. But there does seem to be a dearth of other signage compared to Obama or compared to what I receall for other GOP candidates at this point in past cycles (Bush II especially managed to coat my conservative town in an impressive layer of yard signs early in the summer, it was like a red-white-and-blue snowfall). Not sure if its a lack of enthusiasm amongst supporters or just a decision by the Romeny campaign to hold back opening the spigot of handing out free signs till later in the summer though. ---

In DC, I’ve been seeing Romney bumper stickers for months – virtually all on cars with Virginia plates. I have not seen any Romney yard signs in DC, and frankly, I expect to see very, very few. ---

I haven’t seen any yard signs for anyone yet (or at least not for presidential candidates: There are a few for local races). There are a fair number of Obama bumper stickers, but I think they’re mostly left over from 2008. The other day, though, I _did_ see someone wearing a “Reagan/Bush '84” T-shirt. It looked brand new-- I’m not sure what the message there was supposed to be. ---

Assuming for a moment this wasn’t wholly subjective recollection – has a presumptive nominee’s sign vomit erupted before choosing a running mate? Presumptive nominee as opposed to a primary candidate vying for party votes. ---

Western PA is pretty conservative, but although I’ve seen many anti-Obama signs (the latest was something about Obama hating the coal industry) I’ve seen zero Romney signs. ---

I have seen exactly one Romney sticker, in Georgia, as red a state as there is. Hundreds of Obama 2012 stickers, though, including my own. ---

Does one put a bumper sticker on the Bentley or the Benz? ---

Here in Des Moines, I see a couple of coworkers with Obama stickers, and just yesterday I noticed someone on my drive home with a Romney sticker. It’s been the only one I’ve seen. My neighborhood isn’t one for signs, so I’ve seen no signs for either side. ---

I have yet to see a Romney sign or sticker in Las Vegas. I see a fair amount of Obama stickers, but no signs yet. ---

We’ll see a lot more Romney signs and stickers after the Republican National Convention – when Romney 1) is the official nominee and 2) has a running mate. ---

I’m in northwestern PA. No Romney stickers/signs and no 2012 Obama signs/stickers. 2008 Obama stickers aren’t uncommon. Several Ron Paul signs and many Ron Paul stickers. Many anti-Obama stickers. I’ll be keeping my eyes open more now. ---

Nope, none here yet. I have seen a few 2012 Obama stickers, a couple of Ron Paul Stickers and even 2 Herman Cain stickers :eek:. I am sure the Romney stickers will surface soon. For yard signs, I have only seen Pete Coors signs. I thought they were a bit premature. ---

I’ve only seen a couple of Romney bumper stickers and one yard sign. The one I saw the most of before everyone bailed was Gingrich and a few Pauls, and one Santorum. Usually where I live it’s plastered. ---

I saw them on a couple of Cadillacs, actually. And a wagon with a dog crated on top. ---

I have seen two or three bumper stickers, and one lonely yard sign. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/has-anyone-seen-any-romney-bumper-stickers-or-yard-signs/625143.md?page=2)
