Did anyone else make a similar observation? I live in Massachusetts. In the days leading up to the election, I would see Kerry/Edwards bumper stickers everywhere. Especially when I pulled into the super-market parking lot. I'd often have to remind myself not to scowl if I encountered one of these Kerry supporters.
I hit the road at about 8am on Wednesday. The election was still technically 'in the air' and 'unofficial'. I set out on my three mile exercise hike which takes me along busily traveled streets in my town. I set up a little observation exercise: let me see how many Kerry stickers I can notice. To my astonishment, I didn't see one!!!! Not for my whole hike!!! After finishing my hike, and getting set to take on the day, I had to to make up an excuse to go to the supermarket because I had been seeing a wealth of Kerry stickers there. I pulled into the parking lot and saw no Kerry stickers!. When I came out, Lo!, I spied a car with a bumper sticker. I moved closer and ... no luck ... Bush/Cheney. :-)
The fact that the bumper stickers vanished so suddenly spoke volumes. They were almost more ostentatious in their absence.

Senators Gone.
I still see Volvos with Clinton/Gore stickers on them. UGH!
Where is Sebastopol? It is like Berkeley?
It's Berkeley with apple orchards and vineyards and hairy wool wearing lesbians....
Sebastopol sounds like a commie Russian city... and what you describe sounds just like it.
