I think that’s a bit outside the scope of a thread about bumper stickers.
He hasn’t posted since being mod-noted so don’t expect a response.
I live in Portland which leans left. In 2008 there were lots of McCain yard and bumper stickers. As of this morning, I haven’t seen one Romney anything, any where. Is the GOP doing its job?
I saw my fist one, while out yard sale-ing.
It was the very first I’ve ever seen in this Red State of Tennessee.
A guy in Texas had a pro-Romney display in his yard, but alas he took it down.
Same in Seattle area. Maybe Mormons can’t embrace bumper stickers.
A couple we know just up the street has Romney sign right next to their Akin for Senate sign - don’t talk politics with them very much.
I live in one of the few true swing states (albeit in a very blue part of it) and I just began seeing a few Obama bumper stickers. No yard signs, and not a single Romney sign of any kind. I saw tons of McCain signs last time around, and I used to see Birther stuff all the time, thanks to a popular local morning radio host.
The commercials, though…
If the Republican SuperPacs are really planning on “carpet-bombing” the swing states with ads, all it’s going to do is piss everyone off.
I live in a relatively affluent suburb in Columbus, Ohio. I have seen no Romney signs, although one of my neighbors has a Josh Mandel (R Senate candidate running against Sherrod Brown). There aren’t many yard signs yet at all, though. Obama bumper stickers outnumber Romney by about 10 to 1. We have a lot of government and higher education workers.
I live in Bosda’s neck of the woods and I’ve recently begun seeing a few Romney bumper stickers. Nothing like the McCain ones last cycle. There’s one pick-up truck where I work that has “Romney” written on the back window in what appears to be white shoe polish though for about the last month. I have yet to see a Romney yard sign.
Oddly enough, I’ve been seeing (as well as sporting) Obama stickers and signs for several months now.
A Missourian, I see.
Here in the safely Republican Second Congressional District, there are relatively few yard signs for anyone. Of course, it’s still only September, but things are definitely on a slower pace than 2008.
The word is that the Democrats conceded Missouri months ago and they just aren’t putting resources into it. There’s little advertising on local TV for either Obama or Romney, and at this point, there isn’t even that much advertising for the governor or Senate races.
I saw a Romney sign here in Topeka, Kansas.
Two on my street here in San Antonio. 1 Obama sign (on my yard).
I’ll bet most of the Romney stickers are on corporate jets and limos.
My husband drives through 2 counties every day to work, both of them conservative strongholds: not a single Romney sign. (He hasn’t been looking for bumper stickers.) My mother lives in a small conservative city and hasn’t seen any Romney signs in her travels through town. My neighboring farmers whose field corners are always filled with gigantic Republican candidate signs have not a single Romney sign. I’ve even looked to see if they were sneaking in Ron Paul signs, but nope, nothing related to the presidential race at all.
My guess is that the Republicans are going to try the old “Patrick Duffy had a dream” gambit and try to sneak Chris Christie onto the ballot.
I live on a street with a huge income range: there’s a house which is basically falling down, and another which was purchased a year ago for three million. There are two Romney signs on our street- in front of the two most expensive houses.
I have seen many Obama bumper stickers and yard signs here in Cleveland. Not many Romney. Mostly libs here so it is no suprise.
Perhaps you’ll be converted by osmosis.
Here in the Lansing MI area, I see Romney stickers only occasionally. I haven’t seen any of his yard signs. To be fair, I’ve seen fewer Obama '12 stickers than in '08, and haven’t seen any yard signs of his either. I guess it’s a bit early for yard sign season. A lot of people wait till mowing season is over so they don’t have to work around them or move them.
I haven’t seen any presidential yard signs at all here in Connecticut. There are a few state senate signs, but they’re not wrapping themselves in the Party colors and co-endorsing the presidential candidate. I haven’t seen any local election signs, although there may be nobody up for election.
I see plenty of anti-Obama stickers. I think i have seen one our two bumper stickers for Romney. No signs for either, except for three Obama/Biden soon in my yard. I live on an area that is very evenly split.
I live in a more-liberal-than-not city (Raleigh) in a slightly pinkish state (NC). I’ve seen two Romney signs in our neighborhood, belonging to next door neighbors. These two homes were also the hosts of some of the only “Yes to the Amendment” (the Constitutional Amendment banning gay marriage & civil unions) signs in our neighborhood last Spring.
I haven’t seen any Obama yard signs, but tons of bumper stickers. Only a few Romney bumper stickers.
Not sure what any of that means. I do feel like my liberal friends are pretty enthusiastic and the other day, when I was taking a walk wearing my '08 Obama t-shirt, I had an elderly couple cross the street to come tell me that they’d signed up to volunteer at the Obama campaign office. They were super excited and we chatted about polls for a minute.
