Handlebar survey

The bumper stickers are running 5-0 Obama on my commute. I saw only one bumper sticker on 2 rides and 3 on the other. I am not great at catching every car as it drives by, but on days with a headwind, counting stickers takes my mind off the slogging, even if it raises questions.
  • Is my commute populated with no McCain supporters?
  • Are McCain supporters there but too apathetic to say so on their cars?
  • Should I count every SUV that passes as a possible McCain supporter and all Pruises as Obamians?

Actually, I am surprised overall at the low numbers of stickers I see. In past years, being a battleground state has meant taking politics to the newspaper, yard signs, roadways, t-shirts, billboards, hats, bumpers, and any other space available for opining. Will keep checking in on this very important story...

Must go - the parade is coming!
