For now, I am keeping my Edwards bumper sticker on the car, along with my Buy Fresh, Local and Organic sticker. My husband’s car still has the Denise O’Brien for Secretary of Agriculture sticker!

A month or two ago I saw a pickup truck that had an Edwards sticker paired with one I’d never seen before: “Thou Shalt Not Scab.”

If Jerry Sullivan’s campaign produces bumper stickers, I’ll pick up one of those this year too.

What stickers do you have on your vehicle? Are you one of those people who keeps driving around promoting candidates long after they’ve lost an election, or do you get those stickers off your car ASAP?

What are the best and worst bumper stickers you’ve seen lately?

A few years ago I stopped at a light behind a car with a sticker that said something like, “Raised Republican–I can help myself, thank you!” The funny thing was, the same car had a handicapped emblem hanging from the rear-view mirror. I felt like stopping the driver to say he should thank Tom Harkin for the fact that he can find a convenient place to park.

    As soon as the race is over for my candidate, I take the sticker off.  It helps in the process of trying to move on.

  • Bumper stickers

    On one car We have a picture of Bush that says Worst President Ever.  On the other car one sticker says I miss Clinton.  I got both of those off Bartcop.com.  The other sticker is ban the W selected not elected.

  • I don't do bumper stickers

    They are often too hard to remove.  But I tape them on the back windshield, and depending on the size, sometimes on the side windshield.

    Here’s what my windshield looked like when I attended the Harkin Steak Fry last year:
