What is with my conservative neighborhood?
Everyone keeps talking about seeing Kerry/Edwards signs and stickers etc. I saw maybe one anti-Bush sticker but have still seen a few, albiet not too many, Bush/Cheney stickers. I saw one shitty looking jeep with a Bush/Cheney '04 sticker. I went up north and saw more Kerry and Salazar stickers and lawn signs. My area fucking sucks.

1. Is this true in all of Colorado?
I thought Colorado was going to be a swing state this year?

5. It is.
My area in south Denver is conservative to the point of making me sick.

2. Arapahoe County?
If you live in south Denver or the southern suburbs, it doesn't surprise me. North Denver and the northern suburbs have traditionally voted Democrat.

6. South Jefferson County.
Close. What really worries me about this is how the congressional race in my district will come out. I would like it to be a Dem pickup. To get the house more Democratic and to get rid of America's favorite border cop, Tom Tancredo.

3. On my block two houses have the "Support our troops, support *" signs.
I want to gag every time I walk by them but free speech is OK for everybody not just those I agree with. A few blocks away someone has Kerry signs in 2 windows and in their yard.

8. The * above stands for Bush - they say support our troops, support George
W Bush. I thought that was pretty obvious. Maybe you just missed the *.

4. Stickers and signs
They don't really mean anything. I am from Mississippi, the most pro * state in the nation and I've seen lots of Kerry stickers. Doesn't mean a thing.
