Observation about the level of enthusiasm surrounding McCain
Submitted by ScourgeOf7seas on Mon, 07/14/2008 - 21:25
I don't know about other parts of the country, but here in NC I have yet to see a single John McCain bumper sticker or yard sign. Not a single one. However, there is no shortage of signs, stickers, etc. that display support for Obama. The contrast could not be more glaring. And NC is a state that is historically a "gimmie" for the Republicans in Presidential elections.
What are y'all seeing out there?

North Carolina / VA Beach Sightings
NC has its fair share of Obama bumper stickers, though Ron Paul certainly has him beat...especially in vicinity of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. There were plenty of yardsigns too!
I'm now stationed in VA Beach and have to say that I have only seen a few RP stickers and slightly more Obama stickers. There's some misguided servicemember with a "Veterans for McCain" bumper sticker in my parking lot, but that's about it. Just thinking about that one makes me throw up a bit. It's a good thing I have my bumper covered. It's given me lots of opportunities to educate my fellow officers.

“There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket."

McCain is a disaster!
That's why I'm voting for bob barr...to insure this knucklehead's defeat in November and prepare the way for another insurgent campaign in 2012 or vote Libertarian again that November...

Bumper Sticker Report From Seattle
I don't think I have seen a single McCain advertisement anywhere. Believe it or not, it is either Ron Paul or Obama and no one else. For a liberal city, we have a wonderfully rabid and articulate Ron Paul group. I am very proud of that. :)

Here in Illinois
There are a handful of lost souls with an Obama sticker.
I remember seeing 1 McCain sticker a couple mos ago. I was actually ripping on the McCain and the government at the time.
McCain has no fervent support whatsoever. I do believe he got in fair and square because most voters have no passion and just go with a mixture of their gut and whatever the MSM offers. Dr. Paul was not offered as a choice. Don't forget Dr. Paul had "no chance of winning" from day one.
Propoganda works and it is real and it is wicked.
Here in East LA County....Big
Fat ZERO support for McCain...zip, nil, nada stickers nor signs.
I see more Obamanation stickas..and I've seen more RP :D
Lack of public support for McCain
The #1 thing I've learned from being involved in the Ron Paul campaign for 17 months is that online support, Youtube videos, sign waves, the number of yard signs and bumper stickers, and online polls have nothing - and I do mean absolutely NOTHING - to do with actual votes.
I came. I saw. I concurred.
They help, but...
But, mostly votes depend upon how often a candidate is shown on TV: Own the media and you own a good shot at the presidency.

Ron Paul's Convention Speech

Postage paid by McCain???
Postage paid by McCain??? Did you make copies of the return envelope? If you had you could have lathered rinsed and repeated.

Poor McCain
I'm sure he's thoroughly confused. He has all the delegates and the nomination, but nobody is really supporting him.
He won't beat Obama, but even if he did, he would probably end up with the lowest approval rating in history.

We should go around and slap RP bumper stickers on all McCain and Obama signs we come acorss. lol

I just read the title of your post and started laughing, because I figured the rest of the sentence would end with;
...all McCain supporters out of their slumber.

Hey McCain-----┌П┐(◣_◢)┌П┐
I see some Obama Bumperstickers.
I have yet to see any John McCain ones or signs. I am in Obamaland, Chicago, and the clueless here are drawn to him like moths to a lighbulb.
You're in Obamaland???
I thought I was! Seriously, up here in VT, Obama stickers are everywhere. They are usually next to a Bernie Sanders sticker - the only honest socialist in the Senate (because he says he is one, instead of all the ones that say they are X, Y, or Z, but are actually socialists).
Haven't seen any McCain stickers, maybe a couple of Hillary, but definitely see Ron Paul stickers around.
Well
I've been tracking the elusive McCain sign for over two months here in central California, still no sign of one. I fear they may have suffered the same fate as the dodo bird.

No McInsane support
We had a candidates' picnic a couple weeks ago. All parties invited. Some guy showed up to speak for Obama; not very articulate. The host asked if anyone wanted to speak for McInsane, or if anyone was present from his campaign. There were NO takers!!! We had people running for all kinds of state & county offices. Some of them had to be "good" republicans, but not a one would speak for that loser.
Can we get together on this?
I wish Ron Paul would ask Jesse to be his VP.
It would start a wildfire of attention and media headlines.
I think it would take him to the White House.
It is too late for Jesse to run for the presidency because there is not enough time to get on the ballot in all the states. But Ron Paul is already on the ballots and it would be a home run. Adding Jesse Ventura to the ticket would cause such an uproar and excitement it would do what is needed to get the job done. Can we do this?
Anybody who can contact Ron Paul run it by him...
So, I'm driving down the freeway today...
...and a car in the lane next to me had two bumper stickers.
One said: "Those who do not learn from the lessons of the past are doomed to repeat it."
The other said: "Obama '08"
I nearly drove off the road laughing.
You need to get that same
You need to get that same bumper sticker and slap it up next to your Ron Paul bumper sticker.

I Saw One!
In God We Trust!
Here in the sorry state of Massachusetts I saw a McCain sign ( about 18 inches X 24 inches ) about a week ago on a chain link fence just feet off highway #24.
I pulled the car over, got out, and ripped that damned thing down. Any others I see will have the same fate.
It is the only sign of any kind with McCain that I have seen.
Even here, he is loathed.
I am mad as hell and will not tolerate theses communists SOBs telling me how to live my life. Obama, I have only seen one bumper sticker all year. No signs.
My Ron Paul sign is still open for viewing on that same highway.....sure is pretty too!

Hmm
Razorwind Studios is an official endorser of Ron Paul, and we will live free or die! 14th alternate to MN state!
-----------------------------------------------------------
I have seen maybe one McCain sticker around here in the Twin Cities. I have seen plenty of Obama stickers.
I saw one Ron Paul sticker on my way to march in a 4th of July parade. I just happened to be only 2 or 3 groups away from Barb Davis White, and some of her workers had RP shirts on under their BDW shirts.
I live in Arizona
I live in Arizona and I have yet to see a McCain sign or bumper sticker yet I still see Ron Paul signs everywhere. When he came (back) to town for a fund raiser he had to move the location from a stadium to a house because no one would attend. The fact that he got nominated has to be proof the election is rigged!
I also live in Arizona, Glendale to be precise
I think I have seen 2 mcCain Stickers and only a few OBOMBA stickers.
I was side by side, at an exit ramp, with a lady who had a McCain sticker on her SUV.
I made sure I accelerated and got in front of her, hoping my bumper stickers would wake her from her trance.
Goodness
Isn't he a Senator for Arizona? That's pathetic!
Dr. Paul cured my apathy
Ron Paul was right
