Check it out, San Diego Blog’s own Ivan Jurado has got a post of his mentioned in this weeks San Diego Reader in a piece called Red Neighborhood, Blue Neighborhood:
With the election approaching, I went looking several weeks ago for bumper stickers that might signal the way San Diego is leaning in the presidential race. My investigation got its impetus from an August 30 posting on SanDiegoBlog.com by Ivan Jurado, which in turn was a response to Neal Matthews’s New York Times story on August 28 called “Left Is Gaining in San Diego, a Rightist Bastion.” The focus of Matthews’s article was on the decision of Clear Channel to bring Al Franken and other liberal programming to San Diego on AM radio 1360.
Part of Jurado’s SanDiegoBlog posting reads: “I have noticed far more Kerry bumper stickers in and around my neighborhood than Dubya tags. As soon as we made our way to the North County and Del Mar, however, I did see an influx of SUVs and beat-up pickup trucks with the ‘W ‘04′ decals.”
Kudos Ivan! And a tip of the hat to alert Reader reader Voz37 who pointed this out to us!
heh. ever since i’ve read that, i’ve been on the lookout for bumper stickers and who they’re supporting.
what’s even more interesting is to note the other bumper stickers. like, if you see a W sticker, there’s usually a “free Iraq” sticker, or a Jesus fish. if you see a Kerry bumper sticker, there’s usually like, an environmental sticker too. occasionally, I’ll see the accompanying “Bush lied” or “
MissionNothing Accomplished” sticker.something you’ll never see? a rainbow sticker with a W sticker.
I read the reader this week and got to this website. Exploring now……
