Don’t worry. I’m not asking because I want one. I have yet to see a single McCain bumper sticker anywhere, but I’ve seen tons of Obama stickers. During the 2004 election cycle, I distinctly remember seeing a number of “W” and “Bush/Cheney 2004” stickers, because every time I saw one I’d get up next to the SUV or monster truck, stare at the driver and think, “So that’s what an idiot looks like.”
Anyway–I also know I live in a very skewed demographic. Madison (like Austin, Denver, Boise, and a few others) is something of a safe haven for liberals in an otherwise right-wing state. In Wisconsin, your likelihood of hearing the word “niggerlover” is directly proportional to your distance from Madison. (And probably Milwaukee.)
So I’m curious. Is anyone out there seeing McCain bumper stickers or yard signs? If so, where are you? Let me know in the comments. Thanks.

I’ve only seen one. That makes me happy.
Now, his choice of VP makes me not so happy…

Really?
I’m extremely happy with McCain nominating a woman whose total political experience consists of being a city councilperson, then governor of Alaska for less than two years. They can’t possibly attack Obama for being inexperienced ever again. (Ok, they will, but they shouldn’t.)
Better yet, she’s actually married to someone that works for British Petroleum. Even better than that, she’s currently under investigation for abuse of power! Seriously, if Grampa McCain was to fall in the shower, would any sane person want her in charge?
I can’t wait to watch Biden shred her in the Vice Presidential debates. It’s going to be like watching a midget fight a bear.

I’ve actually seen a few of them out here in Seattle. They’re always on SUVs, pickup trucks with those stupid fucking rubber testicles hanging off of the trailer hitch, or some uber-expensive Lexus or Audi driven by a shriveled up old hag.

Haven’t seen one around here yet but lots of Obama stickers. I’m sure now that McNeeds-a-Cane has chosen his Veep some might pop up.
Of course, now that I moved out of the village of the uber-rich (Hartland/Delafield) I’ll probably see very few. I’ll watch the next time I go home.
