Yard sign & bumper sticker question [View All]

[southlandshari]

I live in Auburn, and travel all over central Alabama for work, and am curious about whether some of you see what I see...

Lately, I have seen a lot more Kerry-Edwards bumper stickers than those for Bush-Cheney. It seems like the increase is dramatic in recent weeks. Maybe it is because I'm more likely to notice a K-E bumper sticker or sign, or because I'm so used to the B-C ones that I tune them out. Whether or not the K-E bumper stickers actually do outnumber the B-C signs, the significant increase in the number of cars and yards showing support for the Dem ticket is undeniable.

I'm sure Bush supporters in states like ours are taking for granted that they'll win by a landslide. Don't get me wrong - I harbor no illusions that our state will ultimately go Republican in the presidential race come November. But I sure would like to see a dramatic narrowing of the gap between votes for Bush and Kerry in our state. And I see signs that may well happen.

Keep up the good work, local county chapters!
