Nowhere was there a single Romney sign or bumper sticker.

[kpete]

As I went around town I noticed a huge difference from the 2008 election. There wasn’t a single sign for either Romney or Murdock. There were no bumper stickers. The town was covered with McCain signs last time. The one stalwart who had Obama signs last time has moved so there were none of his signs either.

Driving home to North Carolina I passed through the most conservative part of Indiana. I also went through Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, and into North Carolina. Nowhere was there a single Romney sign or bumper sticker. I saw one Ron Paul truck in Kentucky. I saw an Obama sign when I got to Winston Salem.

This makes me wonder if the Republicans are planning on sitting this one out like the Democrats did in 2010? Are Republicans disgusted with their candidate because he is either not tea party enough or because he isn’t human enough?

If the Republicans are going to sit this one out it is imperative that we do not. We need to get out the vote and make sure we give Obama a filibuster proof Senate and the House back. Let the Republicans sit on their hands this time. We need to GOTV.

1. that's because they are all down here in tennessee

2. Saw Vets for Robme bumper sticker yesterday

[sinkingfeeling]

3. I saw my first Romney bumper sticker yesterday. On a SUV driven by a

white woman, obliviously already on Social Security and Medicare.

4. I've been looking around when I'm out and all I've seen are signs for local races.

I haven't seen any for the Presidential race at all. We don't have a Senator up for election this year and our Democratic Congressional candidate withdrew from the race after it was discovered that he exaggerated his military service, so the Republican incumbent is pretty much a shoo-in.

5. South Dayton suburbs

Many, many Romney signs and bumper stickers. Many signs for Mandel, too : (

6. There are a FEW up here in NE Ohio . . .

. . . including a window-sized decal on a PT Cruiser . . .

. . . . but in comparison to McClown/Failin, W'04 when they were in vogue . . . hell, even anti-Obama stickers now . . . not even close. Nobody is enthused about R-Money like they were with Dubya or even McCain.

7. I noticed the same thing driving up to a family home in NOrth Central PA

This is GOP country so I would expect to see stickers everywhere. I saw a few anti-Obama ones but nothing endorsing Mitt. This was right before the convention (but after Ryan was picked)

9. Shit. You drove through the area and didn't tell me? Last I saw, the Whistle Stop was still open.

11. If I drove thru the harrisburg area to get where I'm going

that would add an extra 90minutes to my trip. I take the Blue Route up to the NE Extension and get off at Jim Thorpe. It's Technically Eastern Lycoming County so it's quicker to head north and go east.

[HopeHoops]

13. That's not far away. Let me know next time and we could finally meet (Cracker Barrel or something).

There's GOT to be a Cracker Barrel out there, but I'd prefer a bar. Actually, Allentown would be most convenient - 81 to 78 for me. Let me know next time. I haven't had a "DU Meetup" yet.

[HopeHoops]

8. Nothing around here either - just Obama - EVEN in Camp Hill, PA!!!!

[sandyshoes17]

10. I see more old McCain

or old faded Bush stickers than Romney ones. I even see cars with a bunch of anti Obama stickers, but no Romney.

12. GOTV

14. Maybe they were late in mailing them....5 just popped up on my street this week.

It's been kind of weird that they all popped up at the same time, like they were all waiting to get them out to see if Romney was really going to be the candidate or not.

Still no Akin signs though. The 2 that were on my street have long since been removed and have not returned.
