It’s like a bumper sticker ghost town. Very strange. It’s not like the country is hanging by a thread this election cycle, or anything.

I think it’s because, as several posters have said, we are afraid to put Romney or anti Obama stickers on our cars. The shops around here are patronized by African Americans mostly and I have a new car.

Understandable. But that’s always true. Here in MA, over broad areas, I see fewer Romney than McCain in ‘08, and 90% fewer Zero than Zero ‘08.

I don’t perceive a Republican enthusiasm gap compared to ‘08, so I’m at a loss.

My former boss (and good friend) lived in Boston's South End, and he and I were conservatives up here in MA (We know the secret handshake and such)

I gave him a Bush/Cheney sticker back in 2004, and he was a bit hesitant, as he had a brand new mini-cooper and was worried about having it vandalized, but...he only paused for a second and said: "Of course I am going to put it on my car." The next day he came in, he said both of his windshield wipers had been broken off, and this note stuffed in his window:

No joke. I asked him if I could have it, so I scanned it in. It is almost ridiculously funny (like the communists calling Americans "Running Dog Imperialists" or something like that) if it weren't that these people are so damned deranged.
