I too live in California, down in San Diego. I drive to UTC area for work and I have seen quite a few Romney bumper stickers every morning. I have seen fewer Obama stickers. Co-workers of mine trick-or-treating with their kids on Wednesday night told me they even saw Romney yard signs, but no Obama yard signs.
I head into Pacific Beach just about every weekend. Four years ago houses there had giant Obama banners draped over the sides of the houses. Stickers and yard signs everywhere. Today if you drive into PB, you would not even know there is an election in a few days.
I do not believe for a second Romney has a chance to take this sorry excuse of a state, but I do know that the enthusiasm level for Obama is abysmal.
As long as all the people who are too lazy to work are also too lazy to vote, then Romney has a shot.
