And I will third that! I just got back from a weekend motorcycle ride through Montana and did not see a single solitary Obama bumper sticker or road sign! Not one!
Did you go to Missoula? There are lots of BO stickers there /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif. Missoula is the "Moscow" of Montana.
Yes, Missoula was where we spent the night day one. Being a college town I feel sure that it had its share of Obama crap, but I laid eyes on not a one. We headed down to Butte there where my buddy had to get a back tire on his Harley. We walked around town (had to see that famous red light district!) and saw no signs of any Obama poisoning there for sure. Overall, Montana looked to be the great conservative state that I wish that they all could be.
To see none in Butte is a miracle in itself. That is "the" Democrat stronghold for sure but some there are the old fashioned Democrats. Not that this makes much difference anymore.
OK, now a quick Butte story. Back in '84-'85 I had a really pretty Italian (American) girlfriend who was born in Butte and whose parents were born and raised there. There was a big Italian population there, and I thought that was really odd b/c you think of Italian-heritage folks as being more from the East Coast. Turns out, their ancestors were part of a large number who came to Butte in the 1800's to work at the Anaconda Copper Mines there. Moving out to Seattle was coming to the 'big city,' lol!
Her parents went to high school in Butte during the 1950's and Bob "Evil" Knievel was their classmate. Apperantly, he kept things exciting at the school back in the day. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
