Forget polls. Let's look at real indicators of candidate support.

Bumperstickers.

I live in MISSISSIPPI. I am seeing just as many Kerry stickers as Bush stickers. Perhaps more. Mississippi will almost certainly be a red state, BUT Bush supporters aren't proudly touting their candidate as they did four years ago. I think Bush supporters here feel a sense of shame that they support Bush. I have a "KERY4PREZ" license plate in my back window (an immitation state tag) and have had people honk and thumbs-up me. NO ONE has been ugly to me about it.

So, in your state, what are you seeing? Other southerners, are you noticing a decrease in the number of Bush stickers, compared with the '00 campaign?

Yes....

I will in the Conway section of Orlando and in 2000 there was a house that had so many Bush-Cheney yard signs well into 2001 that we called it the Bush-Cheney House. Funny, they don't even have a bumper sticker on their car this year!

5. I think the Kerry-Edwards' supporter momentum is at full throttle...

Bush supporters don't have that this year. We are ON FIRE! :-)

4. about 50/50 here in Raleigh now

I was seeing more Kerry stuff, but it has evened out lately...

6. I've seen more Bush/Cheney bumper stickers here in Ohio

than Kerry/Edwards. But it's still early. I fully expect to see more Kerry/Edwards stickers as the elction draws near.

7. I live in Jersey. . .

Jersey is usually a "blue" state, but not in my area. I happen to live and commute through the "Our Shit Doesn't Stink" section of the state. And even there, I see 1 Bush sticker for every 2 or 3 Kerry stickers. And I probably see the same ration of 1 Bush sticker for every 2 or 3 Fuck Bush stickers. ;)

8. Yay!!

9. Northern Va seems to be going for Kerry

I see Bush stickers but I see more Kerry stickers, and btw in 2K I didnt see as much Gore-Lieberman stickers. Funny, Gore I think would be more the candiate for these people but they seem to like Kerry.

10. Great news, JK!

Same thing here.
