In reply to the discussion: I Live In Arizona. And I've Noticed Something Remarkable: I Have Yet To See ONE Romney BumperSticker [View all]TreasonousBastard
(43,049 posts)10. Seen a few around here, but very few...
and hardly any yard signs.
What really amazes me is with a hot repeat of the close House in '10 race there are NO Bishop or Altschuler signs around. None, nada, zip. (I'm not counting the one or two by party bigshots or family members)
This means to me that there will be a dismal turnout. Obama isn't exciting people like he did last time, and Romney is a embarrassment. No coattails to hang on to for the lesser races.
Ergo, why bother to vote? That is the question.
FWIW, isn't it generally accepted that old farts always vote while everyone else comes and goes? Most of 'em seem to be Eisenhower Republicans, but a lot us newly minted old farts forged in the '60s are replacing them, although not so much with their instinct to vote.

I've seen only a few in California. Our states are both being ignored in this election.

Same here (PA), but there a SHITLOAD of Obama stickers (including mine) and some McCain leftovers.

I agree, and I think bumper stickers are going to be just about all we see of Romney/Cthulhu 2012

You're right. I remember a huge number of W stickers and McCain stickers the last few times.

I have to agree. I actually have seen only one NEW Romney sticker in my Gop-leaning area.
