How many Hillary bumper stickers on your street?

[reddread]

I cant find any except for the one time in a parking lot with the (presumably) anti-Walmart sticker next to it.
I can see multiple Sanders stickers and signs.
Come on, Supporters.com show some team spirit and promote the candidate of your choice.
Is it just California?
Just Central California?
Just my town? my street?
too conservative for Hillary?
too radical?
I will drive by Democratic HQ and look for some there.
Cruise the upper crust hoods and take a count.
I just want to understand, it could be a blind spot, I do ignore
advertising to the best of my abilities, and watch the road the same.

How many on your street?

[Dale Neiburg]

1. Report from a bright blue (mostly) state

So far I've seen two Carson and one Sanders stickers (and none of those are on my street -- I'm talking the whole region). No other candidate-specific stickers at all.

[msrizzo]

29. Pretty much same here in my Baltimore neighborhood.

The only bumper stickers on my block are Obama/Biden 2012. No window signs either except for a sign for a local city council candidate and the guy who lives there is a good friend of said candidate.

[roguevalley]

47. in my entire town, zero. for sanders, three

[LiberalArkie]

2. I don't think that the Jag's and Lex's ever demean their vehicles with stickers.

Unless it is the sticker to get through the main gate for their neighborhood.

[reddread]

3. point taken

ill canvas for yard signs

[brooklynite]

46. Actually I drive a VW Golf...

...but do keep promoting the "only rich people support Clinton". It's not true, but it'll distract your campaigning and improve the already high odds of Clinton winning.

[LiberalArkie]

48. Hey brooklynite you know what I mean. I have never seen a Bush sticker on one either.

For some reason the cars that have the gated community stickers on the windshields are not very likely to have any bumper stickers on them at all.

[brooklynite]

50. And my point remains: why assume Clinton people drive Jags and Lexes?

[reddread]

68. no kidding, that would unemploy thousands of chauffers

[DemocratSinceBirth]

54. I can't afford a car but I support Clinton

However if the Sanders supporters buy me a car I will rock as many Sanders bumper stickers on it as you and your associates like.

[Zorra]

4. No Hillary stickers. I've seen Trump, Carson, Sanders, and "Ready For Any Democrat

in 2016" stickers.

But I live in rural Arizona, so factor that in.

[PatrickforO]

33. Eeeeew! I saw a Cruz one.

And my face turned green from all those Green Eggs and Ham.

[Gman]

5. There was a time when campaigns freely gave away

Bumper stickers. Every car in town had one from dog catcher on up to prez. Not so any more. Used to be between yard sign freebies and bumper stickers you could reliably judge who was going to win. Not so any more since generally you have to donate or buy them.

[firebrand80]

11. I think they've figured out that an election isn't a sign war

Spending on GOTV gives you a lot more bang for your buck

Not to mention digital becoming a bigger part of budgets every year

[TheBlackAdder]

83. But, giving a tangible object connects the person closer and longer than a 30 second ad.

.


Paying hundreds of thousands for a couple of local 30 second ads, which might only meet several tens of thousands seems counterproductive. People ignore, change the channel, DVR past them, or just plain miss the ad.

If you send homes a bumper sticker, they might place it on their refrigerator, their car, school books, window, etc.. That object has lasting messaging. It also offers a level of connection as the ownership of the item is real, and not some nebulous solicitation.


Oh, also a bumper sticker tramsmits messaging to family, friends and neighbors for months on end. It's reach is not local to the recipient.

6. Three Sanders bumper stickers (including mine); zero Clinton. Almost all the Democrats I know feel

the same way I do: Sanders is the best candidate we can recall in our adult lives, but Clinton will probably take the nomination and we'll support her but without much optimism or excitement (except the obvious enthusiasm of opposing the wingnut Republican nominee), and none of us thinks Clinton is likely to win the general election against likely Republican nominee Rubio (but she has a better chance against Trump and -- to a lesser degree -- Cruz).

Clinton is the clearest pathway to a Rubio presidency.

Sanders' quest is a uphill fight, but he's offering something different and with great potential appeal. Sanders offers cross-party populist appeal for those who want a new New Deal that is not rigged to favor the 1%. Clinton would be better than any of the Republicans, but she'd govern about halfway between Obama and Jeb, and we deserve the right to hope for more.

[peacebird]

58. I have seen 4 sanders and 1 clinton here in Virginia....

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. I haven't seen any here in the People's Republic of Minneapolis.

I have seen a few (maybe 4-5) Bernie stickers (including my own) and one Carson. No Trump, no Jeb!

[Stellar]

8. There are NO stickers of any candidates...

in my area, period for Sanders nor for Clinton or anyone else. I just haven't noticed any.

[firebrand80]

9. A lot, but

I live on Wall St.

[reddread]

63. :) yeah thats funny, Trump has some strong support in certain places as well

though outnumbered by Bernie references in the numerous latrines surrounding a large construction project,
(also outnumbered by references to male/male butt sex, overwhelmingly favorable in nature)
at least one Trump supporter gave it his all



could this be the start of a log cabin Trump movement?
Im sure a log was moving somewhere at some point.

[Floyd Steinberg]

10. Zero Hillary bumper stickers

1 "Ready for Hillary" bumpersticker that looked very faded.

That's about it. Nothing visible for Clinton, not even a friggin yard sign. I see plenty of Bernie bumperstickers and yard signs.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. This has become one of the most derided editorials in political history

Notice the date:

11:35 am ET
Nov 5, 2012 UNCATEGORIZED
Monday Morning




We begin with the three words everyone writing about the election must say: Nobody knows anything. Everyone’s guessing. I spent Sunday morning in Washington with journalists and political hands, one of whom said she feels it’s Obama, the rest of whom said they don’t know. I think it’s Romney. I think he’s stealing in “like a thief with good tools,” in Walker Percy’s old words. While everyone is looking at the polls and the storm, Romney’s slipping into the presidency. He’s quietly rising, and he’s been rising for a while.

...


But to the election. Who knows what to make of the weighting of the polls and the assumptions as to who will vote? Who knows the depth and breadth of each party’s turnout efforts? Among the wisest words spoken this cycle were by John Dickerson of CBS News and Slate, who said, in a conversation the night before the last presidential debate, that he thought maybe the American people were quietly cooking something up, something we don’t know about.

I think they are and I think it’s this: a Romney win.

...


There is no denying the Republicans have the passion now, the enthusiasm. The Democrats do not. Independents are breaking for Romney. And there’s the thing about the yard signs. In Florida a few weeks ago I saw Romney signs, not Obama ones. From Ohio I hear the same. From tony Northwest Washington, D.C., I hear the same.


...



I suspect both Romney and Obama have a sense of what’s coming, and it’s part of why Romney looks so peaceful and Obama so roiled.

[firebrand80]

17. LOL, that was a good read

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. Peggy Noonan reminds me of Pat Buchanan....

Though she's not a racist, big, anti-semite, or xenophobe....

They both write outstanding polemics but even the best writing can't camouflage faulty premises and faulty inferences.

[ismnotwasm]

21. A little touch'd tho' with the sting Of this RUM speech

[DemocratSinceBirth]

24. Hopefulness is healthy up to the point it turns into delusion.

EOM

[oldandhappy]

13. ha ha I live in a senior mobile home park

So far nothing. But I am the Dem party precinct worker and I can tell you 60% are Repubs and the Dems are very quiet. Had a debate party. Out of 40 invited, 2 came!

[RandySF]

14. Ask Prggy Noonan about all those Romney signs she saw.

[Codeine]

15. California's primary is so stupidly late

that I honestly believe people don't have any fucks to give.

I did see a Carson sticker on the freeway yesterday in a very blue coastal area, which was odd.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. In 012 I saw an SUV with a Romney bumper sticker at the World Market in Sherman Oaks.

I thought the owner was pretty brave...

I also know some folks put up a huge Romney yard sign in Winnetka that got defaced...If you know Winnetka you wouldn't be surprised but folks shouldn't mess with other folks free expression.

[ismnotwasm]

16. Zero

Also, Zero for Sanders or anyone else. For a rough working class neighborhood, it's comparatively peaceful like that.

[Warren Stupidity]

19. So far I've seen zero in New Hampshire.

Bernie: many. Clinton: none.

[Vinca]

22. From NH - lots of Sanders bumper stickers. I've only seen 1 Hillary.

But . . . also lots of Trump bumper stickers and signs. Yike!

[MaggieD]

23. Haven't seen any for any candidate

Including Bernie.

[FreakinDJ]

25. Zero Zilch Nada

[bigwillq]

26. I've seen very few

Of any candidate.

[artislife]

27. Seattle area

Mostly I drive on the "eastside" which is whiter and richer, generally speaking. No Clinton, seen about 10 Bernie.

[ismnotwasm]

31. See I'm down around White Center

Haven't seen anything for anybody. You must be up around Bellevue.

Now I have seen a couple for Sanders in the Wallingford area, and both Sanders and Hillary around Greenlake--a few more for Sanders. Definetely he'd win the bumper sticker contest. I see more RW types on the freeway, and more for them than anyone else--Saw my first Trump sticker the other day.

[notadmblnd]

28. None. But to be honest

outside my own Bernie sign. I've only see one other. It was for Carson.

[tammywammy]

30. At work I've seen one Carson sticker, one Hillary and one for Elizabeth Warren.

The union at work has endorsed Hillary. My mom's next door neighbor has a Trump sign. In general I don't see a whole lot of bumper stickers or yard signs even when the election is closer.

I don't actually expect that to change much in the next few months - especially at work.

[PatrickforO]

32. None, but I'm starting to see some Bernie ones.

[Blue_Adept]

34. Zero across the board

And no surprise. It's not something you see this early in the game and certainly no yard signs considering we're preparing for snowstorms and the like and not seeing yards for the next few months.

More and more people "pull back" their political side publicly because there are some really lousy fucking fanatics out there that will do shit to your vehicle because of it.

So using these as bellweathers are about as useful as other anecdotes that mean jack shit.

[99Forever]

35. Zero.

In fact, I have yet to see a single one or a single Clinton yard sign. Anywhere.

[Autumn]

36. Colorado Springs, not on my street but driving around.

3 Bernie Sanders some old Romney, a few on the Pauls, no Hillary. All bumper stickers.

[Crystalite]

37. I have seen none, anywhere. I have, however, seen Sanders and one Ben Carson.

And possibly some from the 2012 season, all raggedy.

But it's early yet, right?

We've only had two debates, and I think people are just avoiding everything political this early in the process.

And with distractions like sports and having to work two jobs to pay growing bills with less money every year, they just aren't connected they way they should be.

[NowSam]

38. Hardly see any stickers for anyone

Ours says Bernie and we see a couple more for him here and there in the San Fernando Valley, CA. I think there is such division and unpleasantness that many people do not want to publicly declare who they are for for fear of confrontation. Or people are waiting to rally behind the candidate who wins the primary. Or people just aren't buying what she and the media are selling? Or maybe this form of marketing is kind of old hat and social media has eclipsed all - in which case - Bernie has sure won the web. Even big movies can't get their gigantic posters and billboards to stand out among the noise of the zillion gigabyte per second on our senses. Everything seems like noise now.

I think it is impossible to deny the enthusiasm and sheer numbers of the electorate that are rallying behind Bernie Sanders as the crowds show. Contrast that with the subject of your bumper sticker post. How fervent is that support?

Anyway, my sticker is proudly displayed on my bumper. BERNIE!

[Matariki]

39. The only political bumper stickers in my (large) work parking lot

are for Sanders. But I live in deep blue Cascadia.

[tularetom]

40. I live on a county road and although I haven't inspected every car here

I can guarantee you that there is not one Hillary sticker within 20 miles of me.

[MisterP]

41. just one this season in OC, no GOP stickers except Ron Paul ones from 2008 or 1964 or whatever

[Hepburn]

42. None!

I live in SoCal and I see more and more Bernie stickers everyday!

[MissDeeds]

43. None for Hillary

or any of the clown car candidates, but I have seen numerous Bernie bumper stickers, and I live in very red Kansas.

[Ino]

44. 2 Bernie, zilch for anyone else (nt)

[840high]

45. None on my streets.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

49. Haven't seen any bumper stickers from any candidate except for Bernie

I've seen a few Bernie bumper sticks and a few Obama/Biden ones

[Myrina]

51. central Indiana here ...

I see a couple random Hillary stickers driving to/from work, but have seen at least half a dozen Bernie's, and 4 Bernie yard signs within a mile of my house.

[zappaman]

52. None for Clinton and none for Sanders here in SoCal.

Primary is in June so no one seems to care at the moment.

[LoveIsNow]

53. I have seen Bernie and Trump

in my neighborhood. The most gratifying thing was seeing the car with a "Ready for Hillary" bumper sticker covered by a "Bernie 2016" sticker. Good to see that people can reevaluate their choice when something better comes along.

[cherokeeprogressive]

55. Bernie = 2 Hillary = 0

[PowerToThePeople]

56. Zero

Several Bernie stickers though.

Also, I saw a Ben Carson sticker at the hardware store this morning. I threw up a little at the sight of that.

[Le Taz Hot]

57. The campaign was kind enough to send us

a bunch of bumper stickers, buttons and rally signs and we've been giving them out pretty freely lately so I'd like to think that some of those may be from our group.

Like you, I've seen a goodly amount of Bernie bumper stickers and signs. I've seen one Hillary sign in the Tower District. That's it. I've seen nothing at all in the north part of town (what I call the foo-foo section). Interestingly enough, our honk-and-wave on the corner of Fruit and Ashlan was much more successful than the one we did on Blackstone and Shaw.

[reddread]

60. excellent

Sadly, Blackstone and Shaw is the worst place to be anymore.
anywhere else will raise eyebrows.

[Le Taz Hot]

61. The funny thing about it

is that it wasn't a planned event. We were doing voter registration in some nearby apartments and we were just waiting for the other volunteers to show up and thought we might as well do a honk-and-wave while we were waiting. It was something else. People stopped, wanted to talk about Bernie, wanted to know who we were, etc. We asked all the people who stopped if they would let us put a Bernie bumper sticker on their cars and they ALL said an enthusiastic, "Yes!" He has an amazing number of supporters here.

[reddread]

65. killer

sounds like a good long term plan- random acts of support building/reinforcemont and outreach.
I think you could do that almost anywhere except at the mall or B&S, or...
how did the CSUF stuff go?
zombieland last time I was there.
I hope things have changed.
FCC is way more receptive and active, I suspect.

[Le Taz Hot]

66. We were at CSUF for 6 weeks

and signed up over 200 volunteers. The millennials LOVE HIM! We wanted to go to FCC but it's just gotten too cold to table for awhile so, other than the occasional honk-and-wave, we've moved indoors and we're doing phone banking for Iowa and Nevada. This is the first week since July 29, that we don't have any events planned but after the New Year, we're going to kick it into high gear going into the early caucus/primaries. We HAVE to keep him alive through California.

[reddread]

67. if it turns into a contest, California will put him over the top

Like a gorilla.

[PeoViejo]

59. I saw a JEB sticker the other Day

It had already started to peel away. Boy, they don't make stickers like they used to.

[ecstatic]

82. Wow! Must have been staff or a volunteer.

Unless you're in Florida, I honestly can't imagine another scenario. Teabaggers hate him and it seems a bit early for moderate repubs to be that passionate and supportive of Jeb.

[PeoViejo]

84. They also had a LePage sticker

Shows how far out there they are.

[karynnj]

62. I have not seen a single one in Burlington Vt

Lots of Bernie ones, says a lot when the people who know you best like you.

[Runningdawg]

64. Tulsa OK

I haven't seen any political stickers at all since moving to a new neighborhood earlier this year. That is an improvement, we moved from a neighborhood where conservative/tea party stickers proliferated. We don't put stickers on our car because in the past, that has led to cars getting keyed or tagged. I believe our new neighbors may have had similar experiences, this certainly isn't a GOP or TP neighborhood.
I've seen a few Bernie stickers on cars from out of state.

[JackBeck]

69. Lots of Sanders stickers. But I live in a very liberal area, so take that as you will. n/t

[Motown_Johnny]

70. None, I see roughly 10 times more Bernie stickers than Hillary ones.

But then maybe Detroit's east side is one of those mostly white, upper class Volvo driving communities that the Clinton supporters keep telling us about.










Yes that was for those of you who are sarcasm impaired.

[Buns_of_Fire]

71. Bernie: 1. Hillary: 0. Shit-fer-Brains/Cheenee: 3.

A few yard signs, mostly for town/county positions, usually because they're related some way or the other.

Hell, I'M related to about half the people around here, and nobody wants ME to advertise it! (Probably a wise move on their part.)

[Bernblu]

72. Hillary's support is a mile wide and an inch deep. Once Bernie wins Iowa her support will start to

collapse!

[smiley]

73. In Denver CO....

I've only seen Bernie stickers and a few for Cruz.

[Scuba]

74. I've seen the same number of Hillary stickers as I've seen Bobby Jindal stickers - one.

I also saw one "Ted Nugent for President" sticker Thanksgiving day in Green Bay.

I've seen more Bernie stickers than I can count.

If Hillary has as many backers as some claim, they must be too ashamed of it to put a sticker on their car.

[Smarmie Doofus]

75. No Clinton stickers. One Sanders ( "Money out; Bernie IN") on my block.

(Guess who that belongs to.)

About 20 cars usually parked on the block.

Just around the corner, though.... believe it or not..... there's a Ben Carson bumper sticker.

The neighborhood is a religious, political and ethnic stew.

[Mike Nelson]

77. 0...

...also, 0 for Sanders, Jeb!, Trump etc.. There are, in fact 0 for every candidate! I'm in Southern Calif.

[get the red out]

78. A bumper sticker for any Dem???

Those are brave people in Kentucky. I stopped putting on bumper stickers of any kind since people were getting run off the road around here for having Obama stickers, and I travel even further south a lot. Yea, I'm chicken, but I don't want the risk of pissing off a crazy.

[Kilgore]

79. Zero, but I do see.......

Bernie and Carson stickers and lawn signs.

In southern Washington state

[hobbit709]

80. 1 Clinton, about 8 Sanders in driving around Austin.

On my street no Clinton anywhere. My Sanders and one other person down the street Sanders.

[ecstatic]

81. I saw a Bernie sticker in the Whole Foods parking lot the other day

Other than that, I see a lot of people still sporting Obama stickers/ magnets. I have several but stopped using them after a teabagger tried to run me off the road. Safety first!
