I live in a pretty liberal part of the Philly burbs. Area was festooned with Obama signs in 2008 - including some in Hebrew. Hardly see any now.
With respects red states and blue states, the Dems seem to have the old Soviet mentality, what’s mine is mine, what’s yours is negotiable.
Of course with a crappy economy like this, with plenty of angry and upset voters out there, the GOP has a good chance of picking up a number of states including PA that have trended Dem in recent years. Nothing is set in stone this year.
For what it’s worth, I live in L.A. I’m on the frewaays every day. Four years ago there were Obama bumperstickers and yard signs EVERYWHERE. You couldn’t avoid seeing them even if you tried. Today, it’s just the opposite, you actually have to out of your way and keep your eyes peeled to locate them.
Not predicting at this point that Obama will lose CA. I am saying there is absolutely no enthusiasm whatsoever for him this year compared to four years ago.
