Bumper Sticker update...what about your state?

[Liberalboy]

Kerry still has a slight edge in Colorado.

I went to Ohio for a spiritual gathering last week and while driving from Columbus to the W. Virginia border my friends and I played the bumper sticker game. Kerry leads there too 2 to 1.

How about anywhere else?

[JuniorPlankton]

1. Kerry has a huge edge here

But then it's hardly surprising in Massachusetts :)

[Warpy]

4. Same with New Mexico

but that's not surprising, either.

[Demi_Babe]

2. I'm seeing Kerry signs and stickers everywhere and get this

I live in NC. :-)

[MidwestTransplant]

3. Was just in MI

Kerry had a HUGE edge. 4 to 1 I would guess.

[booksenkatz]

5. Over here in the Ann Arbor area

am wallowing with joy in Kerry signs and stickers every time I leave the house! Gawd, it sure beats all the years I lived in red states! Only have seen maybe 3 _Bush stickers at most, and those were invariably accompanied by Jayzus stickers, don't kill babies stickers, etc.

Don't worry 'bout Michigan.

[Hoosier Democrat]

6. Indiana: All Quiet on this front

I'm seeing about an equal number of stickers and signs. Very few signs overall, though, since both campaigns have written us off.

Bush will carry Indiana by over 60%, but he won't win my county. We were one of only 6 that went for Gore (out of 92) IN 2000.

[theorist]

11. Bloomington area. Haven't been counting, but I've seen more K/E stickers

than Bush stickers. The signs are all pretty much even, although I haven't seen many at all. One of the frats I drive by had a big "Remember 9/11....Support Our Troops" sign up. This didn't bother me, except for the W stickers on the SUVs in the driveway. I live right near Wal-Mart (but never shop there) and am surprised at the relative lack of b/c stickers.

:shrug:

[faithfulcitizen]

51. Hey hoosier! I'm seeing lots of Kerry Signs!

everywhere! (central indiana)

[faithfulcitizen]

55. p.s. about the signs....

Not legally allowed to be up until 10/2. ...at least not in my county? (though some still do) Only thing worse that seeing "W" or "GB" stickers is "My Man Mitch" uhhhhh! :puke:

[MuseRider]

7. Here in Kansas

I see very few of either Bush* or Kerry stickers or signs. I have seen one or two Bush* signs in yards but a lot more Kerry signs. My son in Kansas City, just over the state line says he sees nothing but Kerry signs. Last time I was there on the Kansas side, deep in the neighborhoods I saw a sea of Kerry signs. My experience is a bit limited but still, it was all Bush* last election.

[RoBear]

12. I'm in Wichita

and I see quite a few Kerry signs and few * ones. It could be that the * supporters see it as a sure thing and are just no bothering.

[MuseRider]

16. Hard to say.

I still am not hearing a lot about the upcoming election anywhere except in the LTTE section of the newspaper and those are about 2 to 1 pro Kerry here in Topeka. It is hard to say, most people I engage are either voting for Kerry or they won't commit yet. Only one or two have actually said to me they will vote Bush* no matter what and that is a HUGE difference from last time and to me it means that Bush* has some 'splainin to do and he is not doing it.

[lupita]

8. Huge in Oregon-Portland Metro area n/t

[Arugula Latte]

36. Kerry yardsigns EVERYWHERE in my neighborhood.

This is SW Portland -- not as hardcore liberal as other parts of Portland. You cannot go more than a few houses without seeing a Kerry sign. Also a few brave/stupid souls put out Bush signs.

Bumperstickers -- fuggedaboudit in Portland. Kerry, Kerry, Kerry and anti-* stickers on about 1 out of 5 - 10 cars. It's a more mixed bag in Beaverton (suburb); I see lotsa Kerry stickers but also a lot of stickers for Dumbass.

[swag]

41. NE Portland checking in.

I have never seen so many yard signs anywhere as I have seen for John Kerry and John Edwards this year.

[oregon_dem1]

46. Eugene is covered in Kerry/Edwards signs

I've seen no B/C signs and fewer than 10 B/C bumperstickers.

My boyfriend's family is from a VERY conservative area on the coast. While visiting recently, he said he was shocked to see tons of K/E signs and bumperstickers.

OREGON IS KERRY/EDWARDS COUNTRY!!

[swag]

50. Fuckin' right. That new 12-point lead is underestimating it.

[flvegan]

9. Tampa, Florida...overwhelming

Not only various Kerry/Edwards stickers, but sooooo many anti-bush stickers as well. I'd say the score is 80% Kerry, 20% Bush (maybe 75-25, with a 4% error margin).

[VoteRight]

33. Huh???

What Tampa Florida are you in? All I see is Bush stuff, probably 75% at least.

[texas is the reason]

38. agreed, orlando fl looks like a republican boot rally!

[phish420]

42. Yup, orlando definately Pro-Bush overall - TX has taken over FL

Look at the license plates people - Im telling you - TX is taking over FL. That is why it is turning Rep.

[flvegan]

59. Maybe you're in the wrong parts of Tampa

Like SOK, New Tampa and Bayshore. From MLK through USF, Westshore through TNC and Citrus Park all I see is Kerry.

[DelawareValleyDem]

10. SE Pennsylvania

See many more Kerry than Bush. What's really encouraging is I'm also seeing MANY more Kerry than I did Gore four years ago. Hopefully the base is energized.

[JimmyJazz]

24. That;s great news because I'm choking on the Bush/Cheney

lawn signs one county over!!!!

[RamboLiberal]

37. Same with SW Pennsylvania - except in God's country

rural PA (where it's a slight edge to * or even).

Encouraging thing was I was driving up Rt 22 over weekend to Altoona and between Blairsville and Ebensburg there was a Kerry/Edwards & Hoeffel sign every few miles.

[redsoxliberal]

13. About 1000 to 1 here

(Newton, Massachusetts, one of the most liberal places in the country :P)

[Kathy in Cambridge]

20. I have seen NO BUSH/CHENEY STICKERS IN CAMBRIDGE

I bet if folks do support him here. they're very quiet about it. We gave more votes to Ralph Nader than Bush in the last election-Gore got like 80% of the vote.

[redsoxliberal]

23. I'd have to look, but I'd guess >75% went to Gore

[Kathy in Cambridge]

25. Newton is pretty damn liberal

it's a nice city-some beautiful parks and architecture! And a GREAT school system.

[redsoxliberal]

26. we gave Gore only 73%!

I am actually very surprised... I'm sure we'll give Kerry upwards of 80 this time!

[redsoxliberal]

27. HA! We beat Cambridge (72%)

[Kathy in Cambridge]

28. There's lots of Greens in Cambridge

that would explain the lower than expected percentage.

[jpgray]

14. In this area of St. Paul, almost all Kerry

I think even Wellstone stickers outnumber Bush stickers here.

[babylonsister]

15. I live in Houston suburbs

just outside of the beltway, and I'm seeing nothing! No signs, no bumper sticker, etc., except my K/E in back window. Very weird as I do remember a lot of * stickers 4 years ago. Maybe this is a good thing!

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. Tons and tons of Kerry here in S/E Michigan, a few Bush/Cheney.

Lots of God Bless America. :hi:

[Renew Deal]

18. LI, NY

I have seen one Bush sign, but it's from a republican party hack. I have a Kerry sign but I haven't put it up. I have put up a sign for a congressional candidate and soon for a state assembly candidate.

There are definitely more Kerry stickers here, but I see some Bushler stickers occasionally. The other day Kerry lost 3-1 but I haven't seen any since. Usually Kerry outnumbers Bush by several.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

19. I saw a Bush Cheney sticker today in Medford, MA

of course, it was in a sea of Kerry Edwards stickers and union stickers supporting Kerry. And of course, it was on a gigantic white SUV.

[progressivebydesign]

21. Washington State - Tacoma area: Kerry to Bush 4 to 1!!! n/t

[Kali]

22. too many bush - cheney here in rural SE AZ,

but that's to be expected. They are all small and not very flashy though. And in my mind I read them to say BUSH - Go F*** Yourself. hee hee

[Terran]

29. Missouri

In my town (state capitol, small, surrounded by rural) Bush has an edge, but it's not as much as 2 to 1. One thing interesting I did see recently: I had to drive 150 miles south from here, almost to the Arkansas border, for work, and on the highway going down, in all these hamlets, were Kerry yard signs, as well as Claire McCaskill for Governor signs! I'd say, for the whole trip, it was 50-50, which is pretty amazing, because this highway (63) goes through only one sizeable city and the rest are all small bergs. There was plenty of dubya crap too, but I was really heartened to see so much support for Kerry in the rural areas.

[seabeyond]

30. kerry edwards sign in the yard up the street

first one i have seen in town. yea,. stopped in hte middle of my street and huge smile, and yeaaaaa. gonna have to knock on hte door and give them a thumbs up. and i have seen two bumper stickers besides mine.

going to a dem bbq thurs. so excited to see who the dems in town are

[cheezus]

31. Red State - hardly any Bush stickers

they're still going to vote for him, but they're not proud of it this time.

[Jane Austin]

48. If they're not proud of voting for him this time,

maybe if they have the sniffles or it's raining, maybe they won't bother to go to the polls.

I'd go if we were having mudslides.

Except I'm going to vote early.

[lacdep]

32. No.VA

Seen lots of Kerry stickers, funny bumper stickers like "You take away my overtime, I take away my vote" to "We need a less dumb president". Still see some Bush stickers but they are in the minority here.

[fudge stripe cookays]

34. Dallas-- almost EVEN people.

One day I'll see 3 Kerrys and no Bush, the next day I'll see 3 Bush 1 Kerry.

One day I'll see 2 Kerry 2 Bush. One day I'll see 3 Bush no Kerry.

I've been very encouraged.

[FearofFutility]

35. My kids and I play count the signs

and bumper stickers every time we go out. Kerry has won every time. I live in SW PA.

[noamnety]

39. Kerry in a landslide in MI

Sunday we counted 7 cars with Kerry stickers, none with BushCo, on the way back from the RenFest.

The best part was that 2 of those cars (3 if you count mine) were not just the one sticker, but plastered, which I assume means some serious activists in the car. One had them not just all over the back, but on the sides as well. Several Granholm stickers were on that one, and hanging inside, a blazer with a Kerry pin. :)

At the festival itself, a dumb and dumber shirt, a kerry/edwards shirt, a Marriage is a human right, not a heteroexual privilege shirt, and a Kerry pin. No bush shirts at all.

[marlakay]

40. No contest Kerry all over CA!! and Kauai and Oahu...

Just came back from vacation and got to meet people from all over the states. That was great. Handed out lots of buttons and stickers I brought with me to both visitors and locals.

Talked to a great couple from Boston who are republican but have always liked Kerry and are going to vote for him. She said she was concerned about ten years ago and wrote him and he wrote her back personally!! My fav story...

We wore our Run Against Bush shirts in the airport (SFO) as usual and also people from all over came up and gave us thumbs up sign or right on.

[texas is the reason]

43. afraid bush is winning in orlando FL....

but not to worry, i just ordered my set from http://irregulartimes.com/exprogressive.html
"quagmire accomplished", "worst president ever", and "dumbocracy" should even the score a little bit. But i bet that most kerry supporters are not advertising it out of fear of the roving bands of tire slashing and paint-keying freepers out there. that is why my stickers are going on magnets, so that if any freepers have a problem, they will have to address it with me man-to-man while i am in my car (so they can get thier ass kicked), instead of fucking with my car when i am not around like the cowards they are.

[ArkDem]

44. Let's just hope those bumper stickers aren't voting on touch

screen computers.

[Jane Austin]

45. We were driving through Arkansas with a Kerry-Edwards

sticker on our company truck.

When I awoke from a nap, Alert Husband told me that we were passed by a beat-up pickup carrying three Arkansas, um, rural denisens.

When they slowed next to us, he tensed a little until he saw they were all grinning, pointing to the back of our truck and giving us the thumbs up.

That was a nice surprise. Guess Kerry voters aren't all efete, pointy-headed elitists. :)




(left out a word)

[bigwillq]

47. It's Kerry big time here in

Connecticut. Surprise, Surprise!!

[txprog]

49. Bush 100 to 1 here in Plano, TX

It's sickening. Many, many yard signs. "W" bumber stickers abound. Interesting that the majority, maybe the VAST majority, of bush bumper stickers are on SUV's. Many of those on Chevy Suburbans.

Sure, a few Kerry signs around but not many.

My reaction. I have a nice sign I made that I carry in my car. Printed on it in large block letters is
"4 More Wars." I flash that at folks with bush stickers when I can.

It helps me feel a bit better anyhow.

[MazeRat7]

52. Austin, Kerry stickers on 57% - The MazeRat Poll. Dont ask for methodology

I've been keeping tabs every morning for the past 10 days during my commute (25 miles 1 way). About 57% of the vehicles with political bumper stickers have a Kerry sticker. For what it's worth.

MZr7

[Clinton Crusader]

53. NY overwhelming K/E

Well, Long Island anywho. We have a BIG Kerry sign in the right rear passenger window also and get beeps and thumps up from total strangers all the time.

But polls say * is catching Kerry in NY... *cough* :eyes:
:kick:

[MoonRiver]

54. Saw a Mercedes with a Kerry/Edwards sticker today

in my very upscale Kansas neighborhood! That impressed moi! Zero * bumperstickers spotted recently and no yard signs. Three new Kerry/Edwards signs in front of houses.

[Zynx]

56. Here in the heart of the Right in Wisconsin, it's a tie.

Maybe slightly, and I do mean slightly, more Bush stuff.

[crickets]

57. SW Georgia

There are no political bumper stickers this time around. It's odd. There are flags, and the usual assortment of fish, NRA stickers, a deer silhouette or two. I saw one HRC sticker with a Darwin fish the other day. A couple of weeks ago, I was at a stop light behind a car from out of town that had a "Republicans for Voldemort" sticker. Otherwise... nothing.

There are more Democrats than I realized in the area, though the votes fall predominantly Repub. I don't know about other Dems, but I haven't had the nerve to put on stickers. My car is brand new, and while 99% of my fellow citizens are nice folks, there are some good old boys around here who don't have good impulse control under the best of circumstances, so...

Yard signs are a similar story. They were out in force for the primary, but I've only seen a handful of yard signs for the upcoming election, all local and state.

One of the neighbors had a "support the troops" sign out for months. It's gone. My parents have new neighbors just next door who are apparently Repub party muckity mucks, but they have only two yard signs that just went up, neither of which are for Bush/Cheney. Saxby Chambliss' house is a few doors down from them. No signs in the yard at all. Driving around town there's the occasional ten commandments sign, the occasional local or state sign. It's sparse.

It's very, very quiet.

ETA: I'm taking this lack as a good sign. There's a bulletin board in the local library with pictures of all of the people from the area who have been called up to serve. Almost all of them are very young, and there are a shocking number considering the rural area. Maybe it's still early days, maybe I'm overly optimistic, but I think there might be some heavy thinking going on. One can hope.

[gauguin57]

58. Campaign seasons are a great time to find a house ... by their

yard signs ye shall know them. Want to find like-minded neighbors? Look for a house in a neighborhood with lotsa Kerry signs.

[Spiffarino]

60. More Kerry than *, but

...the Shrub appears to be closing in a little. I've been seeing more stickers for the hellspawn lately. I think the RNC Hatefest inspired them.
