Roadside presidential poll brings a show of hands, fingers-Denver

By The Denver Post (10/24/04)


Denver resident Bruce McNaughton thinks he knows which presidential candidate will take Colorado. He even has a poll. McNaughton and other self- described "left wingnuts" stood on the Alameda overpass at I-25 during morning rush hour Tuesday with a sign reading "Bush Lied 1000s Died." And then he counted the thumbs up, honks and waves versus the "middle-finger salute."

In an hour, he found 123 cars in support and 18 in opposition. No women, he reported, were counted in the negative reactions.

To be fair, however, his poll results may vary. He polled only those cars in the northbound lanes. Southbound may yield different results.

1. Southbound probably more conservative ...

They're headed to the Tech Center ...
Northbound goes to downtown Denver

BTW , today is "Can You Feel a Draft" day ...

2. I had to laugh because

when we do "visibility" events, we take our Kerry signs and anti-bush* signs to the city streets and show them to passing motorists. We cheer at every honk and thumbs up and jeer at every thumbs down and middle finger. One guy was so busy reading our signs and giving us the thumbs down, he drove up onto the median and into the other lane. He wasn't hurt, but am sure he damaged the under part of his truck. Yesterday, we had a guy (benito on the DU board) in a Cheney mask who faked "heart attacks" and fell down to the ground when a large group of cars were abreast of us...we got a lot of honks with that one. Being in Louisiana, I have been pleasantly surprised by the positive reactions to our signs by the passing motoring public.
