Bumper Stickers, anyone??

I have yet to see a Romney bumper sticker. Just one Obama (which is great since I am in the DFW metroplex.

Anyone seeing bumper stickers where you are?

and I have seen exactly two Romney stickers (or maybe it was one sticker seen on different days). I am not even seeing Ron Paul stickers or magnets so much anymore either.

between fast and next-to-fast lanes. Was pissed.

I've got a Wayne Powell bumpersticker, and wondered what s/he would think of it, as I wanted to 'disasppear' her/his car. (Was a Maryland car, which was where we were, probably not much thought given to Powell.)

Here in Houston, I have seen a number of Obama bumper stickers both at party events and at other places. I have not seen any Romney stickers at all.

Here in Eugene Oregon there are lots of Obama stickers and DeFazio stickers. He's our excellent Congressman. Zero Rmoney stickers. Not too surprising. I don't know what the latest poll is for Oregon but I'd be shocked if Obama was leading by less that 15%.

The Republican asshat that ran for Governor in 2010, Chris Dudley, was a retired basketball "star" and raised twice as much money as the Dem and still lost. He has since moved out of state to San Diego.

I only wish that every state was like Oregon.

I haven't seen lawn signs or anything saying Romney. It's a little early for that around here so I'm not too surprised.

12. Yeah, about those bumper stickers. In Rmoney's childhood hometown of Bloomfield Hills, MI

I drive down the main roads every day to and from work, Long Lake Road, Telegraph, Woodward Avenue.

I have seen ONE Romney bumper sticker in the past 3 months, and that was last Friday on the evening commute. On a Mercedes. It immediately caught my attention because I havent' seen any. And I'm watching.

Obama 2012 bumper stickers -- I can usually count on seeing at least 2 or 3 every day. Been seeing them for months.

No Romney ones, though I see a lot of yard signs for Repub candidates for state and local races on my drive into town.

Heck, there are still cars and trucks with Bush '04 and MacCain / Palin stickers. Sort of odd there are no Romney ones around. Though our county went over 61% for Obama in '08 surrounding ones are still pretty red.
