I still have not seen even one McBush yard sign or bumper sticker here in Illinois

[NNN0LHI]

Plenty for Obama though.

Must suck to be a republican.

1. Would anyone dare? Seriously, if he doesn't blow out his home state, there are problems.

[NNN0LHI]

3. The county I live in is redder than than all get out

In 2004 there where W04 signs and bumper stickers everywhere. I never seen one for Kerry.

15. Well, ya'll got him first.. I'm assuming their is some pride for Illinois these days..

Kind of like a sports team or something... It makes you proud that you had the smarts to elect him and claim him first..

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

25. If you are in Central Illinois, then this is earth shattering news

As far as I know, DeWitt, Logan, McLean, and surrounding counties have been Republican strongholds since the inception of the GOP. Heck, Champaign County went GOP in the election of 1856! So if you're saying there are no McCain signs now......wow.

[davsand]

30. I've seen a few McPalin signs here in Champaign County.

You are dead on when you talk about how strong the GOP has been here traditionally--especially in the rural areas. I've noticed a very real change here, however, in the last few years. It isn't that the Republicans have switched their party affiliation en masse, but more a matter of the GOP stalwarts just kinda sitting out some of these races.

I was talking to one of those "old guard" guys about this the other day, in fact. His comment was that the IL GOP is in disarray and he'll be amazed to see any GOP gains in this next election. He also went on to say that he's worried about how this is all gonna go in the election cycle after this (2010.)

According to him, and this made sense to me once he said it, the fiscally conservator guys are really pissed at McCain, can't STAND him, and they have been pissed a long time because dubya has been such a huge failure (actually used the phrase "spending like a drunk sailor!) He told me he knows a lot of guys across the state that don't have signs, that are not giving any cash to the campaign, and they are not working the ticket.

Those guys will NEVER vote for Obama, but they have most certainly limited McPalin's ability to campaign and fund raise.


YMMV, I am just telling what I was told.

2. Since Obama took a small lead here in NC, I have seen some

mcPOW/Phalin bumper stickers(like 5), and a couple of yard signs.

But, I can literally, walk outside my door, walk for an hour to town, and count more than 30 Obama yard signs. I cannot count all of the bumper stickers.

[Mira]

7. mcPOW/Phalin -that's rich, I like it. I'm in NC Triad, and I see the

McMansion/Failin one's up in the ritzy areas and a few in the lower middle class areas of town. Obama signs way outnumber them though, and overall there are less signs than usual. I should know, I make them for a living and keep my eyes open.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

19. Hi Mira! Good to see you here!

nt

[OffWithTheirHeads]

24. Here in the S.F. bay area, I see about one McPain a day

Hmmm, lets see, that makes it a ratio of, oh I don't know, maybe 300 to 1.

[Mira]

47. Good to see YOU, too. I'm just now getting to look at "names".

When I first came here I trained myself to understand anonymity. The only other board I ever participated in was one where all people knew who they were, real names, and such.
But YOU, I know. And I'm glad to see you !!

[madrchsod]

4. i`ve seen one or two here in ronnyland..

no one is admitting they are voting for john...

lots of obama and other democratic candidates signs and bumper stickers...i`ve seen a moveon bumper sticker here

[HockeyMom]

5. I am in Naples, Florida

I have yet to see a McCain/Palin one either.

[frogcycle]

6. Saw my first McCain sign this week

in Wheaton (DuPage County, Peter Roskam district).

Haven't seen many Obama signs either. There was on down the street from the McCain one, but I think that is the only two signs I've seen so far, except for Ron Paul.

I think the Obama supporters like me are shy about touting it in such a red area. I have stickers on car, but no yard sign yet. Of course, neither campaign is spending any time pushing for it; nobody asking you to put up a sign. All I get from Obama campaign is "will you travel to Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri this weekend?" Those are text messages; they started out like that, now they leave off Iowa, Michigan (yay!)

[sugarraydodge]

9. There are

tons of McCain/Palin signs here in Maryland. I was surprised.

[DainBramaged]

8. I haven't seen ONE in Rethuglican central here in Morris Cty NJ

But LOTS of Obama yard signs and bumper stickers. And on really snazzy cars too, not just pieces of shit like mine.

[ThomWV]

10. Haven't seen a single one in northern West Virginia either - and I get around

I ride a motorcycle all over the north end of this state in my spare time (retired and have plenty of it) and I have not seen a single McCain sign or bumper sticker - but unfortunately not many Obama stuff either. Some Obama, but not much.

[Fumesucker]

11. I don't recall seeing McPalin signs or stickers either....

If they aren't here in quasi-rural Georgia I'm not sure they exist at all.

I do see the occasional Obama sign/sticker, not a great number but they are out here.

We had Bush04 stickers *everywhere* four years ago, I still see them, but no McPalin ones.

After an unfortunate experience with a Darwin Fish emblem on my truck some years back I no longer do bumper stickers, it's just not worth the hassle, aggravation and expense if you have something the local fundagelicals take a dislike to.

[vanderBeth]

12. Haven't seen one here in TEXAS

I live in a blue area, but still...

Actually, I'm now in a Red area now for vacation, so maybe I should look around.

[crispini]

46. I've seen three. THREE. And dozens of Obama signs. Heh.

[Saphire]

50. I've seen lots here in my neighborhood in San Antonio, and I've gotta

say I'm very suprised. I've just put up my Obama sign, so I'll see how that goes.

[DailyGrind51]

13. When I volunteered for a Chicago Democratic campaign during the early '80s,

we would remove Republican signs and replace them with our own. Even though our signs were removed the next day, the Republican signs usually didn't reappear!

:dem:

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

14. I've seen three here in south Arkansas

The people in the country won't vote for Obama because they STILL think he's Muslim.
But we know the truth... Deep inside, they just "can't vote for a black man" MORANS

[Inspired]

16. There's dozens in my neighborhood.....sadly.

[southernleftylady]

17. Here in Tn I have seen 3 obama signs and 3 mcsame.. I have seen more Obamas stickers than Mcsame..

its shocking to see the Obamas in the city I live... its always been die hard repukes

[KharmaTrain]

18. Same Here In Pleasant Valley Sunday

I'm in the NW burbs...used to be crimson red out here but us city kids have infiltrated out here and now the area has turned deep blue.

My wife mentioned one house in our area that has a Gramps sign on the lawn, but there are also several Democrats for local races. Go figger.

Driving into Lake County (Kirk vs. Seals), it's interesting that almost every house that has a Seals sign also has an Obama one, yet those who support Kirk only have his plain black & white ones.

Even in Kane and Will County, you're seeing Democrats on the rise. Bill Foster took Gym Teach Denny's old seat and Debbie Halverson is set to grab Senor Weller's one in Will County. Last week I drove into Elgin and didn't see a single Gramps sign...but many for local Democrats.

Not only does it suck to be a repugnican...it double sucks to be an Illinois repugnican.

Cheers...

:hi:

[City Lights]

20. Not sure where you are, but where I am in Lake County, it's a different story.

I've seen many more bumper stickers and lawn signs for McNasty than I have for Obama. Not every home sporting GOP candidate signs includes a McNasty sign, but more are sprouting up every day, and I've actually only seen a handful of Obama lawn signs. (I'm in the NE part of Lake County.)

[laylah]

21. I have seen only two

here in the Quad Cities area, both on "penis" trucks. :evilgrin:

[Juche]

22. Its similiar in Indiana

I live in a small town in Mike Pence's district (one of the most conservative people in the House). The Obama yard signs in my town outnumber the McCain ones 2:1. The bumper stickers are at least 5:1 for Obama.

[dogtag]

23. None in Palos Verdes Peninsula CA. nt

[HughBeaumont]

26. In Dumbass-hio, there are several McFail/Stupid signs. On middle/working/poor homes.

Not many Obama signs. That doesn't mean there aren't any Obama supporters, certainly; there are many. It means that the Chickens for Colonel Sanders Repukes will just steal the signs (as they did with Kerry in '04), like good brownshirts who want liberals executed for treason.

I laugh at these suckers. 8 years of Bewsh fuck-ups, nine straight months of job losses and a funeral of a local boy killed in the WarOnTerr means shit to these people, I guess.

[bulloney]

27. Come over to NW Ohio and take all you want.

This is one of the more depressed parts of Ohio, which never got out of the economic funk from earlier this decade. Yet, we want four more years of this bullshit.

[Lorien]

28. They're all down here in Florida

:-(

[grilled onions]

29. Kane County

Passed thru Geneva and saw more than I wanted to see! Big signs that went with the BIG houses!

[riderinthestorm]

33. Yup, Kane Co. resident here also (just moved from Dupage)

On my street we're still probably only 50% Dem - which is a huge improvement (doncha know, said with a Sarah Palin twang) since this is Denny Hastert's strongest precinct but there are a distressing number of McCain-Palin bumper stickers and yard signs as I drive around here. And in Dupage - wow! They are everywhere, alas.

[Bigmack]

31. Saw my first McLame bumpersticker...

in Washington state yesterday..... on the back of a huge motorhome from California. Still no yardsigns in a 60-40 Repub area.

[ddeclue]

32. I've seen very few in Florida.

I live in Orlando and have been working in Fort Lauderdale lately which means a hell of a lot of north south driving up and down the state on I95 and I've seen very little McPalin stuff up and down the road or in either city.

I've seen quite a lot of Obama stuff though and Obama has pulled 5 points ahead here in Florida last I checked.

If Obama wins here by 5 points, he will more or less sweep nationwide. I'm predicting 350 electoral votes myself.

[texpatriot2004]

34. There are plenty here unfortunately. People who support

McSame and his cheerleader are scary.

Northwestern New Mexico which thankfully does not follow the rest of the state.

[onenote]

35. i'm seeing a good number sprouting here in, of all places, northern virginia

McCain is making a push here, no doubt. While Obama bumper stickers and signs still outnumber McCain's, I'm seeing new McCain signs popping up. Today, at our local farmers' market, for the first time ever, McCain had a table (volunteers for Obama have had a table at the market for weeks).

In fact, its gotten to the point where I was inspired to go down to the local Obama office to see if I could get a few yard signs to offer to distribute to my neighbors. They didn't have any, so I trekked over to the local Democratic Committee offices where I was able to pick up a few. I expect them to be distributed to people later this afternoon.

This fight has 30 days left and we can rest when its over, but not before.

[onethatcares]

36. Sunny St Pete Florida here and

today I got my Obama/Biden yard sign from Democratic HQ, The foot traffic was amazing and on First Ave South I saw at least 5 people putting yard signs in their yards.

[DebJ]

37. York Pennsylvania has sucked them all up. It makes me puke

to drive!!!

[juno jones]

38. This girl from Freeport says YAAAAAY!

I never thought I'd see the day. *sniff* I might need to go back and visit more often. :)

[mantis49]

39. Saw my first one today.

In Jerseyville, IL

[JesterCS]

40. Many McCain/Palin signs here

but its southwest ohio, butler county. Monroe.. a rich city, with pompous people.

Once you get outside of MOnroe, Obama dominates in the yard sign war =p

[B Calm]

41. Between Danville & Urbana on Rt 150 there are 3 of them. But, there are 7

Obama yard signs on the same stretch of road.

[obiwan]

42. I have seen many bumper stickers and some yard signs...

...for Obama where I live, but nary a sticker or yard sign for McBush. Even my ultra-right wing neighbor doesn't have one, and by God he's normally a flag-waver. Thinking about putting an Obama sticker on the rear bumper of his ginormous old gas-sucking van, just for shits and grins.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

43. They are all over here...

Including those idiotic I Heart Sarah signs with the lipstick. I want to spray paint those black every time I see them. I even saw a Drill Baby Drill bumper sticker yesterday on an Excursion. I wanted to ram it. Unfortunately I would have just ended up killing my Liberty.
Duckie

[FLAprogressive]

44. In Nokomis FL I've counted more locations with Obama/Biden signs!

And Sarasota Co has been VERY Republican. It used to be that the Republican primaries were the big races.....now we have an entire field of Dem candidates for the first time in a long time.

[InvisibleTouch]

45. Wish I could say the same!

I live amidst a sea of sucky signs here in central Ohio. I think I've seen exactly 3 Obama signs in the whole neighborhood; the rest are rethugs. (At least I'm getting an education on who my neighbors are!) I can't wait for them all to have to eat their signs in November!

[Release The Hounds]

48. McBush/Palin signs have exploded here the past week in SW WI

[ThomWV]

49. That means they have just opened a campaign office somewhere close by

That's how you can tell.

[madokie]

51. I'm in the middle of bush country and I see no palin/mccain signs

on cars, in yards or anywhere.

[HughMoran]

52. There's dozens of those gigantic ones for McCain & Sununu here in so. NH

The trolls here put them all over the place - with not a single large Obama sign on the same roads that I travel. Shaheen does have a few of the billboard type, but not Obama - I'm not sure why.

[madville]

53. I live and work in North Florida/South Georgia

I'm seeing at least 5 McCain signs to every 1 Obama sign. That's expected around here though
