Bumper Sticker Report from Northern NJ

I travel around on my job a lot, and I've been seeing Bernie posters in front of houses for a while. There haven't been many for any candidate.

Today I was at my place of employment, plus I had to do errands. I traversed two counties. There was a big change! First, I saw almost 20 cars with Bernie stickers on them. At one point, I was at a stop light in Millburn, NJ, and three of us in a row had Bernie stickers on our cars: the one in front of me had it on the back fender, then there was me, with three stickers on my station wagon windows, and the car behind me had one on the front bumper.

The houses with Bernie posters have increased quite a bit, too. I would say I saw about 8 houses with posters today that did not have them last week.

I did not see a single Hillary bumpersticker or residential sign today. There is one out there, though. I saw it a week ago.

Our primary is June 7, and it's predicted it will go to Hillary. If Bernie signs are any indicator, though, Bernie could do quite well.

1. Yeah, it's a measure of enthusiasm, not numbers. The Hill fans are not very proud of her and don't

and frankly it was almost unreadable. The type was small and whoever did this thing needs to make a do over.

Not at all an HRC fan, but jeepers they need someone to work on their advertising.

She is a known entity and can't gain new support. She is just hoping to keep her existing support.

Someone stole both Bernie magnets from my car. One about a month ago, the other just this weekend. I replaced the one mosy recently stolen with a Birdie Sanders sticker.
