I live in north metro Atlanta and there are no Obama-Biden signs and/or bumper stickers to be found anywhere. Hope is fading...
Now THAT’S a helluva good sign.
i am in the Bronx NY and you would not even know an election is 2 months away.
Zero obama stuff other than a sticker here or there.
My county in Northwest, Illinois has gone red since at least 1968, but went blue last time. I was seeing Obama stickers everywhere. Now I see very, very few and the few cars that have them almost always have multiple stickers. In 2008 and the two years after, many black folks in the area, including many friends of mine, were wearing Obama gear. I saw an Obama T-Shirt (one that probably dated from right after the inauguration, given how it was showing wear) on a guy the other day at WalMart and realized I hadn’t seen one in weeks.
Saw my first Obama yard sign the other day, but it’s a 2008 sign and the person doesn’t have a single sign for any other Dem candidate in the area. There may be more signs up in the predominately black parts of town since the last time I was over there, but somehow I doubt it.
Lastly, I’ve been doing phone bank work for a conservative group that includes two survey questions and though I don’t have any idea what the race of the people I’m calling is, almost every time someone answers the Obama job approval question in the affirmative, they are combative about it, even though they don’t know I’m working for a conservative org. One guy was trying to keep me on the phone to tell me all the reasons he hates the conservative GOP congressional candidate in our district and loves the job Obama is doing, and he seemed angry that I needed to move on to other calls. Another, thinking I was from her local area, described her house as the one (one!!!) with all the Obama and Bustos signs. She lives in PEORIA.
