I’ve seen several Ron Paul bumper stickers, does that count? ---

I thought I spotted one that said DON’T VOTE FOR THE MITT-WIT. It went by too fast for me to be certain (this was on Long Island). ---

I’m across the river, and I don’t see any, either, but I tend to stay inside the city limits, so I don’t really expect to. There was one dude in my neighborhood with a giant Santorum sign in back of his beater Escort station wagon, though. It made me giggle. ---

Washington State, across the sound from Seattle - haven’t seen any here yet, but I haven’t really been consciously looking either. Will now, just for curiosity sake. ---

I’ve seen a lot of Romney yard signs. Jess Romney for North Mesa Justice of the Peace. ---

Update: I finally saw my first Romney sticker. It was on I-71 just north of Columbus, OH, on an Arkansas car. So, Arkansans who drive to Ohio are for Mitt. Got it. ---

My area (suburban Cleveland OH) has a number of local ordinances that prohibit yard signs until 30 days before the election, so there aren’t too many up for any candidate. While I myself doubt that the ordinances are constitutional, I’m not upset enough about it to go to court to fight it either. There’s one hard-liner here in town with a Ron Paul sign, which i think they’ll take down after the landowner dies. I’ve seen some Obama bumper stickers (including mine) but none for Romney. ---

I’ve seen a handful of stickers for Romney and Obama both, but nary a yard sign for either yet. ---

> [@Rico](#): > > I live in Utah. > > You do the math. > > 8^) I’m surprised by this. Reading the OP called my attention to the fact that I’ve seen very little of such material for either Obama or Romney, here in urban Southern California–almost as reliably Democratic as Utah is Republican. I suspect most of the boots-on-the-ground campaigning will take place in the battleground states since the vote from states like CA and UT is probably already locked up. ---

Oh, I didn’t know precisely where in PA Doylestown was, though I did know it was further East than Pittsburgh. I was more latching on to the fact that someone else mentioned PA beforehand and using Doylestown as a comparison. ---

> [@Typo\_Knig](#): > > 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’m in Northern VA too and I’ve seen a bunch of Romney stickers - and last week a group of people with anti-Obama signs standing outside the local Obama office. Fortunately, the Obama people are already out knocking on doors to make sure everyone is registered to vote and knows their polling place. They knocked on my door over a month ago. It’ll be nice to join them in getting out the vote once my back heals. ---

I just saw my first Romney bumper sticker in NoVa, on a car in a Metro station lot. ---

Saw my first Romney bumper sticker a couple days ago (Central Iowa), no yeard signs yet. Sticker was pretty unispired - just “Romney 2012”. Probably holding out until there is a Veep to add excitement. ---

> [@It\_s\_Not\_Rocket\_Surgery](#): > > 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 live in Detroit and am a conservative I have my own Romney Bumper sticker and have seen many and I mean MANY Obama bumper stickers however I have seen no presidential Yard Sign I have thought about just buying my own. Maybe that would get more people out to do what we need to do to get this election right. ---

Maybe that would get more people out to do what we need to do to get this election right. I know that if _ **I** _ see enough Romney yard signs and bumper stickers, I will certainly vote for him. I can see his campaign slogan already: Mitt Romney: A name you [del]can trust[/del] saw on a yard sign in 2012! ---

But I too, if I see enough Romney/More Exciting Running Mate, may think about purchasing a bumper sticker. ---

I’m in the middle of a Tea Party area, so no Mitt signs. A couple Ron Paul signs (bless their hearts). Putting an Obama sign or sticker would be the same effect as a “please vandalize me” sign.
