> [@Chronos](#): > > 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. A year or two back, there was an epidemic of reproduction Nixon stickers that started showing up on street signs in the ski towns of Montana. I think there was a snowboard shop somewhere selling them. Maybe the shirt is of similar provenance. ---

> [@An\_Arky](#): > > “nobody I know voted for Nixon” > 😃 Actually, the oft-misquoted [Pauline Kael quote](http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Pauline_Kael) is “I live in a rather special world. I only know one person who voted for Nixon. Where they are I don’t know. They’re outside my ken. But sometimes when I’m in a theater I can feel them.” ---

Definitely not in my neighborhood. Apparently, there [just aren’t that many Republicans](http://jamaicaplain.patch.com/articles/guess-how-many-republicans-are-there-in-jamaica-plain) here. Out of 34,468 residents, there are (take a guess)860registered Republicans ---

I live in a very red state (TN) and have yet to see a Romney sticker or sign. Of course, TN didn’t go for him in the primary race. However, not including the one on my vehicle, the ones on the Fella’s vehicles and the ones on members of the county’s active Democratic party members, I’ve seen a fair number of Obama/Biden 2012 stickers for this part of the country. 🙂 ---

I’ve seen less than a handful of Romney signs and stickers (suburban Milwaukee), but I think it’s due to sign fatigue from pro- and anti-Walker signs and stickers from the past year. The first Romney sticker that I noticed and noted was on a Hummer, and the first sign was in the yard of someone who always supports the GOP no matter the election, no matter the candidate. I haven’t noticed Obama signs, but the stickers are plentiful, though they may be left over from '08 in many cases. ---

Pretty much going along with most 'dopers here…I’ve seen lots of Obama signs (both pro and con types), and there are a few McCain/Palin ones still floating about (even some Bush stickers), but I can’t say I remember seeing any Romney bumper stickers…and now, since I saw this thread I’m looking for them. No signs either, though New Mexicans don’t seem to do the sign in yard thingy as much. On another, similar note, I’ve gotten several calls from the local Democratic party about Obama (and the party in general) extolling his virtues, but I haven’t received any from the Republicans doing similar things. I don’t recall getting any from Republicans before the last presidential election either…not sure what, if anything that means since I’m registered Independent. -XT ---

I’ve seen anti-Obama stickers and signs but no Romney ones, although I agree that once the blank in “Romney/\_\_\_\_\_ 2012” is filled in we’ll see a goodly number of them. ---

> [@kayaker](#): > > Western PA is pretty conservative Spent two weeks with my relatives in Doylestown. Saw one Paul yard sign. Stopped by a yard sale with “support our troops” and a “life of the foetus by the life committee” DVD - think they’ll be voting Romney. One uncle told me he’s grudgingly voting, but if it were up to him, he’d disappear and never pay tax or engage with the government again. Another told me he participated in the Occupy Wall Street May Day march. Saw a pretty wide spread of political opinions I guess. ---

I think I’ve seen one. I’ve seen a lot more anti-Obama stickers from people who seem like they’d be GOP though. ---

I saw one today and was rather surprised. The Republicans I know have been very quiet about Romney, looking rather annoyed when the subject comes up. What political energy they have they spend badmouthing Obama. Which really doesn’t impress me. If the entirety of your plan is “we hate that guy”, you give me no reasons to support your side unless I too hate that guy, and I don’t. ---

Tennessee here. Very Conservative area, and I can’t recall seeing even one. Lots of Ron Paul signs/stickers, though. “Mittens” may not have as much momentum as previously believed. ---

I haven’t noticed any and I live in a pretty conservative area. Tea Party meeting signs are all over the place. ---

> [@Ravenman](#): > > 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 live in Northern VA and I don’t recall seeing any Romney stickers or signs. I have seen McCain stickers and car magnets, and some McCain/Palin. I suspect those folks will vote for Rmoney. I still have my Obama 2008 sticker on my car, and I’ll get my Obama/Biden 2012 sticker on there soon. I have seen a lot of Allen for Senate signs up on the median strips recently. Yes, Virginia, there is an idiot running to be senator again, and you’ll probably vote for him. :smack: ---

> [@John\_Mace](#): > > Have not seen any here in NorCal, but now you’ve made it so I’ll be looking high and low! 🙂 Look for any “Emken for Senate” bumper stickers, or TV/Radio ads. If you don’t see/hear any (and I don’t mean just right now, but don’t see any between now and November), I suspect that the Republicans are conceding the seat to Feinstein and using the money for Romney in swing states.
