You truly were in the belly of the beast. I just got back from a vacation in Seattle, Tacoma and Oympia. I looked, and I did not see ONE Bush/Cheney bumper sticker or button the entire time I was there...just Kerry/Edwards. Two times I saw people registering voters, and both times they had Kerry/Edwards buttons on. It's the same here in LA. I have yet to see a Bush/Cheney bumper sticker anywhere around here. Not ONE!

"I saw people registering voters, and both times they had Kerry/Edwards buttons on. It's the same here in LA. I have yet to see a Bush/Cheney bumper sticker anywhere around here. Not ONE!"

For perspective, compare the number of people who aren't wearing buttons and the number of cars that don't have any bumper stickers on them at all to the number with political stickers.

What you'll find is that only the hard-core sport the stickers and buttons. Your survey reflects the number of die-hards. It's the die-hards who wear the buttons and put the stickers on their cars...a very small percentage of the voting population.

The phrase "silent majority" comes to mind, in fact.

Just in the last week, I have been noticing more and more and more Bush/Cheney signs in the greater Seattle area. You're not going to see them in downtown Seattle, but get out to the 'burbs and you start to see them everywhere.

Hey Nea!

I have my W-04 sign on my car, and my flag with "Freedom isn't free" and my yellow support the troops ribbon. The only time I take them off is when I'm going to the People's republic of Seattle. =)

So what did you think of Washington? Was the weather cooperative?

I spent most of life childhood in Oly.
