2. Yes. Once. Young guy. Saw him on the day of the Palin pick.
Asked him about it and he spouted talking points straight off Free Republic.

3. Great Question!
I was thinking about this yesterday - the answer is NO... But I do see Obama t-shirts more and more even in little old red-neck Idaho!

5. No. And I live in Alabama.
I have only seen 3 or 4 McCain stickers on cars, and I've been in Birmingham (biggest city) and in lots of rural areas.

It's nothing like '04 when damn near every vehicle had a Bush Cheney, W04, or W The President sticker.

7. One
He was a man in his 50s on rollerblades in Central Park. Not surprisingly, he was skating in a walkway reserved for pedestrians. (Skaters are supposed to follow same rules as cyclists.)
I'll bet dollars to mooses that he was a tourist.

8. Not one. I live here too. Still see the very rare Bush Cheney once in a while.
Edited on Fri Sep-26-08 12:53 PM by zonkers
There was plenty of Ron Paul gear for a while.

17. In Georgia too!
It's Athens, so about as blue as you get in Georgia. Still, I've seen plenty of Obama shirts on young people in Atlanta.

One yard sign, and no bumper stickers either.

On the other hand, I've seen one Obama shirt, a handful of Obama bumper stickers, buttons, and some yard signs. :)

I've seen one, count it, one McCain bumpersticker in this entire area, and one yard sign. Yes, it's Portland, but I would regularly see Bush/Cheney stickers in '04 when I drove into a neighborhing suburb. This year -- there is virtually no demonstrated support for McCain here. TONS of Obama stickers and pins and shirts, though.

21. One. A military retiree from my ham radio club.
He also has a McBush oval on his car. Most of the members of this club are military retirees working in or contracting for the gubmint. Also, one of my co-workers has a McBush/Failin' sticker on her SUV, too. We work in a school, myself as the IT department, her as the office manager.

32. So far we have about 8 T- Shirt sightings for McCain
Edited on Fri Sep-26-08 01:43 PM by goclark
Where is the pride for McCain, the joy, the thrill of being for your candidate?

Waiting to hear from Alaska and Hawaii and every little place on the map.

29. Oddly enough, no.
Here in E. TN the last 2 elections have resulted in Bush signs, bumper stickers, shirts, etc. popping up everywhere. I live in one of the reddest counties in Tennessee.

This year I've only seen 1 McCain yard sign, and a few bumper stickers. I've seen more Obama bumper stickers than McCain, which is probably due to the lack of enthusiasm for McCain among the Republicans.

I actually saw my first Palin bumper sticker today - no corresponding McCain bumper sticker. What a fool.

41. I saw one last Sunday in Maryland
Every Sunday, I go to Starbucks after church and a Republican club meets there. Last Sunday one of the people had on a McCain/Palin shirt. I'm thinking that one of these Sundays I'm going to need to dress down and show up with an Obama shirt on.

44. Yea ~ Let's all wear our Obama shirts from now until the day
Edited on Fri Sep-26-08 04:56 PM by goclark
before Election day!

So ~~~~~ Let's Shirt Up for Obama!

Let's be walking Billboards ~ if you have little kids dress them up too.

No one can resist a little child.

I realized how important the T Shirt can be because I get so many compliments, high fives and smiles when I wear mine.

In fact, I get loads of responses when I clip my OBAMA HOPE Pin to my purse.

Be an OBAMA Billboard!

45. No McShirts...
I haven't seen any McCain shirts here in SW Pennsylvania but I did see a "Democrat for McCain" bumper sticker on a Schindler company van today (elevator maintenance comp.). I'll take the stairs, thank you! I want my Obama bumper sticker and car magnet to get here!!! My car is silent and it needs to be Obamanized.

47. I have not seen one shirt in Southwest Missouri.
But to be fair, I didn't see many for Bush or Kerry in 2004.

Minus volunteers and passionate Dems/Reps.

Here in Southwest Missouri, most people have just a bumper sticker. I didn't see many of McCain stickers until the last two weeks, and McCain/Palin ones starting popping up. Plenty of Obama ones before he picked Biden, but not many McCain ones till he picked Palin.
