That's a hard one Lee. Where I live (Northern New Jersey) I only see Obama stickers on cars and in people's yards. I can honestly say - and I have recently driven to Boston and down to southern Jersey - that I have not seen one single McCain poster or bumper sticker in this area at all.

Where my Mother lives (in Southern California) she says that all she see are McCain supporters.

Quite honestly, if pushed up against a wall - I don't think Obama will win. I think the lies and smear campaign against him is a vicious as it is because he is black (it's interesting how being half-black doesn't seem to count the same as being half-Italian as I am). I will bet that the vast middle and south of this country will not support him or vote for him - and that both coasts will.

I guess time will tell.
