Denver Yard Sign Report!
Edited on Wed Aug-18-04 04:43 PM by Goldom
I saw so many yard signs on my drive out and back home yesterday that I decided to count today. There is a 2nd route home as well, so I will count the additional ones there tomorrow and add it. For now, however, it consists of vaguely- one block below Alameda, to Emerson, up to 6th, down to Colorado, up to 17th, then left to Montview. Return is Montview to Colorado, to 8th, to Washington, and left to 1st, then right. Here are the results - Numbers in parenthesis are counting multiple signs of the same type on a single house.


President:
(D)Kerry or Kerry/Edwards: 4 (5)
(R)Bush or Bush/Cheney: 0 (0)
ANTI-Bush: 4 (5)

Senate:
(D!)Ken Salazar: 24 (30) (including one person who had 4)
(D~)Mike Miles: 7 (8)
(R!)Pete Coors: 2 (2)
(R~)Bob Schaffer: 0 (0)

House:
(D)Diane Degette 3 (3)
(?)Chicas (not sure who he is but I think it's house): 2 (2)

DA (already decided):
(D~)Beth Mcann 1 (2)
(D!)Mitch Morrisey: 1 (1)
(D~)That other guy I forget name Walsh or something: 0 (0)

I also got bumper stickers, though almost all were on parked cars that I pass every day:

Kerry or Kerry/Edwards: 4
Bush: 1
Salazar: 1
ANTI-Bush 3


And last, the race we've all been waiting for...

For Rent: 39
For Sale: 25

2. Denver bike ride...
I did a count of bumper stickers yesterday, though I didn't distinguish between anti-Bush and pro-Kerry. Here was my count:

Anti-Bush/Pro-Kerry: 9
Anti-Kerry/Pro-Bush: 0

3. Another reflection
Stop lights never turn red when you've got 10 signs in your head and need to write them down on the sheet before you forget. Only when you're waiting for them to go.

4. 2nd path update
First off, more bumper stickers, from the whole route-
Pro Kerry: 1
Anti Bush: 2 (3)
Anti Kerry: 1 (2)

For the record, the two Anti Kerry stickers appeared on a single truck with "NAVY" on it. And both were toilet jokes. Oh yes, the adults are back in charge all right.


To add to the yard sign totals above, Monaco between Montview and 8th, going.. um.. the way that the numbers go down:

very few, just-
Salazar: +1-2
Degette: +1
For sale: +3
For rent: +2-3
wasn't writing as i went this time, so i forget exacts. but it was small. but not a single repbulican one.
