I drive down the hill from New Boston five days a week past all the Republican signs that stretch from 114 to the 293 exit on 101. Goffstown/New Boston is definitely purple. When I lived in the Hampton Roads, Virginia I used to call the same effect “bumper sticker polling.” I was pretty darn sure that B.O. was going to carry the 2008 election by the overwhelming number of Obama/Biden bumper stickers I saw in comparison to McCain/Palin. I had to vote for McCain, but I darn sure wasn’t doing so proudly enough to deface my auto with his bumper sticker.
I haven’t seen too many Obama 08 bumper stickers here in New Hampshire. I few leftovers, but I think many people have scrapped them off. I’ve only seen two Obama 12 stickers, and they were on luxury sedans with Massachusetts plates. All too common for the expatriates to come here to escape the tax burden they helped to establish.
Anyway, I tend to agree with the premise of this article. Whether it’s for Paul, Romney, Newt (Yes I’ve seen few) or whomever, the message is that Barrack Obama is not in favor with Southern New Hampshire voters.
