Several bumper stickers and I've never seen this before but Obama seat covers for the their car. So they win for most items in the neighborhood. But I did see in another part of town a McCain sign that had to be at least 8x10.

I have seen relatively few McCain/Palin bumper stickers, which is very different from '04, when Bush/Cheney stickers were everywhere. I haven't seen yard signs for either candidate around here. However, there are tons of yard signs for the various CA propositions and local candidates. I've seen no McCain/Palin t-shirts, but many for Obama. And whatever happened to political buttons? We have an Obama one, but I haven't worn it (my daughter has). But really, outside of the conventions, you hardly see anyone sporting campaign buttons these days. I blame that on Gerald Ford's "WIN" buttons in the 70's. Hurt the whole button biz. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whip_Inflation_Now" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W...tion_Now</a>

Of course I'll need a nice card to send him. I don't think he'll mind my shakey scrawly script and stickman with a house and sun graphic on it. For our election it was actually quite muted this time around. Fast campaign. The Lieberals suffered losses, everyone else gained. My parents had 2 polar party signs on their lawn. My house had the same sign as my mommy's And Mele from Hilary to McCain?! Maybe he wants to show he's a feminist supporting Palin to all his neighbours

Originally Posted By agent We live on a small farm and have just seen McCain signs go up near us in the last couple of weeks. Obama signs were up earlier.

I know this happens all over the country on both sides. It just made me sad to see it in our small community. And by the way, I would feel the same if an Obama sign was defaced! I wish everyone could show a little more respect for eachother, including McCain supporters (which I am!).

What's the general political feeling down in Southern California? My son is dying to put a McCain bumper sticker on our car. I'm thinking a big, gas guzzling, non-hybrid Suburban with a McCain sticker, not a good idea!
Originally Posted By chickendumpling <<We want them to think hard about what they believe and why, even if we disagree.>> I couldn't agree more. I imagine the guy with those bumper stickers believes he has thought hard about things and can't believe why everyone else doesn't see it the same way.

Originally Posted By mawnck >>What's the general political feeling down in Southern California?<< Mixed. The OC is on the whole extremely conservative. LA and San Diego, not so much. And there are plenty of such Suburbans with such bumper stickers - or at least there were before gas went sky high. You might want to stay out of Compton, though.
Originally Posted By agent It's probably a thought I can easily overcome. My son is also dying to go to San Dimas to see if there is a phone booth in front of the Circle K. Between the sticker and San Dimas, I think he will take San Dimas. If only I could be 13 again!
