However, I have seen a few in typically progressive areas in the state in Montgomery County. However, MoCo is a wealthy county, so it's not far fetched if there are wealthy folks who don't want their taxes going up.

Lots of Obama and Warren signs around though.

Granted, I'm just outside Boston, but after the Palin pick last time, there were tons of weird Palin posters all along my route to work. I'm still taking the same route, but no Romney signs at all.

This man was the governor of the Commonwealth for 4 years and no one here wants to admit publicly they are voting for him. Says a lot.

in Dowagiac, MI over labor day weekend. Afterwards, we did a bit of driving along the backroads between Berrien Springs and Three Oaks, and on to New Buffalo.

I saw a total of 2 Romney signs the whole time, and they were neighbors. No one else really had any signage up, not even for other elected offices.

I think that Romney is toast in his "homestate" of Michigan, and we can only hope there are downticket implications.

Los Angeles area.

I saw my first Obama sticker just last week.

Occasionally, there are several cars I see, plastered with all the batshit crazy, Prez O as Hitler, "you keep the change, I'll keep my guns!", stickers.

SO...this is part of my rant...the Obama store does NOT have anything with the Forward theme (and actually, the site even has stuff with 2008 on it?!?). I posted this yesterday and am hoping that all of you will ask the website and White House to get this stuff up and running. I finally ordered off of CafePress.com, to get stickers I like.

PLEASE contact the Obama store site!

I'm not sure what to make of it, unless people don't want to get caught up in a sidewalk debate this time. The Republicans because they don't want to explain a candidate they didn't like to begin with, and Dems because they have to listen to TeaBaggers ranting about Obama's Martian roots.

AL Repubs don't seem to be very enthusiastic about Willard. By this time in 2008, I was seeing Obama and McCain stickers in equal numbers. I live with one foot in a blue congressional district, and the other in red, literally just a couple of miles apart.

Northeast Ohio may be counted on for it's Democratic votes, but the suburbs contain more than enough whack-a-loon Reaganites. During the Failure Fuhrer's reign, "W '04" ovals were on several dozen random vehicles a week.

Either a) no one genuinely likes R-Money because he's a total worker-hating phony who just wants the title or b) the Failure Fuhrer was just that big of an embarrassment to Republicans.

However, for such a red part of the state, I'm seeing a lot of Obama stickers too.

Not a one! Not even on my client's cars (custom package $$$$ cars) and some of them are so hardcore GOP that they are moving to Missouri because "Illinois is too liberal" for them.

I do, however, see tons and tons of Obama/Biden stickers, from the last election.

There are some pretty 'red' districts in Genesee County, but I haven't seen a single RR sticker. It will be interesting to see how many of their signs I spot, the closer we get to November.

A car on the Southwest Freeway in Houston cut in front of me this morning. I noticed that the car had a Mitt sticker on it. This is the first sticker that I have seen in Houston

I didn't see a huge number of McCain/Palin stickers 4 years ago (nothing like the Bush mania in 2000 and 2004), and have seen no more than one Romney (and no R&R) yet. Don't see a whole lot of Obama stickers - not as many as in 2008. But those that I see far outnumber RR (none).

Can't see Indiana going Blue again, but the lack of enthusiasm, seems marked.

but recently my roommates and I decided to enter the 21st century and get the internet again. I was up to a couple of thousand posts after the (stolen) election of 2004.

So, right after I posted that I left the house and saw one on a convertible. "Believe in America" is their slogan, apparently?

She even wore it on her bathing suit.

I hope she writes-in Ron Paul instead of holding her nose and voting for Romney.

Haven't seen one in Albuquerque a fairly large city and Santa Fe either. No ground game either for Republicans. Just a Heather Wilson ad on occasion.

Maybe two or three. I've seen yardsigns scattered around town and along the highway, but very few compared to the many Bush signs/bumper stickers around here in 2004 and McCain signs/bumper stickers in 2008.

Mind you, I live in a very blue area with plenty of Peace Now signs and Obama-Biden bumper stickers, but even here I occasionally spot a McCain sticker or an anti-Obama sentiment.

granted my time is mostly in urban core Indianapolis, and the rest of my time is in a liberal college town, so my experience isn't typical for Indiana (heck on my Mother's cul de sac with five homes there are 3 Obama signs and no other signs.)

Tue Sep 11, 2012, 08:19 PM
Sep 2012

I live in an area that is VERY populated by retired military, and active military. Outside of Seattle proper, it's not particularly liberal at all. I have seen THREE. Two during the primaries, and one the other day on some beat up truck from California, with an old grizzled dude driving it. The other two I saw were on expensive cars driven by women in their 70s.

I've seen plenty of old and new Obama/Biden stickers, and a handful of ANTI-Obama stickers (which NEVER have Romney stickers on their cars.. only 2012 anti-Obama stickers. so telling.)

I have seen a number of Obama stickers however. Interesting that Bostonians aren't coming out in full support of their Gov.
