McCain bumper stickers ...
has anyone seen a vehicle with one on it? I live in a tourist area of NC - every day I see lots of Obama bumper stickers (both on the backs of locals vehicles and out-of-state vehicles) and still an occasional Hillary or Ron Paul sticker (not to mention many Kerry/Edwards and a few */Darth stickers) but I have yet to see a McCain bumper sticker here.

Today I had to travel out of town for a meeting (to a more conservative area of the state) and the only McCain sign I saw was in the window of a building in downtown Kinston (a smallish town). It said: "Veterans Against Insane McCain".

I know bumper stickers don't really mean squat, but still I find it interesting that McCain supporters apparently don't like their candidate enough to show it.

1. I haven't seen any either.. I think they stole it for McCain back in January
when they still had the touch screens to who knows what machines.. I never saw one single McCain sign or sticker or anything.. I saw a ton of Ron Paul and Fred Thompson.. Nothing for McCain.

3. No stickers, no yard signs, no enthusiasm
and I'll bet the GOP is dragging its feet on printing up much campaign material.

4. I've seen one or two in the NW suburbs of Chicago.
Fortunately, I'm seeing more and more Obama stickers in Oak Park, Elmwood Park, Berwyn, and the surrounding areas every day! :patriot: :woohoo:

5. I have classes with a guy who has had a sticker
since at least December. Kid's a real class act, very bright, actually the youngest elected official in the history of Pennsylvania. He liked McCain before he warmed up to Bush. I haven't talked to him about how he feels now.

16. Y'know, I don't understand that
You're in a fairly Democratic state and you're suburban, right next to an urban area that's solidly "blue," but it seems like I must know almost every lib'rul in your area.

Is it a new-money 'burb or somethin'? :shrug:

15. Saw my first one just about 2 hours ago.
The mini-van also had a "proud member of the vast right wing conspiracy" sticker as well. Driven by a middle aged woman with a kid in a car seat.

But really, this is Texas. I've seen exactly one.

17. I haven't seen even one McBush sign or sticker here in Charlotte....
and I live in an all Repug district and area of town. There's one Obama sign in a front yard around the corner.

They're probably waiting for The VP guy to give them some life.

19. None
When I was in Bloomington Indiana I saw tons of Obama stickers and a few Hillary, but no McCains. But that is Bloomington, arguably the most progressive town in Indiana.

Here at rural indiana I have seen a couple of Obama stickers and signs, but no McCain anything. The radical right hates McCain because he believes in Global warming and works with progressive senators. Ask them about 'McCain-Feingold' or 'McCain-Kennedy'.

22. I saw one today on a 1962 Studebaker, of all things.
But it kind of fits. A retro car for a retro candidate. I'm sure that in Johnny's mind, it IS 1962.

But I had to wonder why someone would want to spoil an otherwise pristeen vintage auto with any kind of bumper sticker.
