I think I’ve been pretty fair and balanced this election cycle, covering Democrats, Independents, Republicans and non-voters alike.  

It’s been my experience here in the very diverse state of New Jersey that there has been an overwhelming response to Senator Barack Obama’s campaign and patches here and there for John McCain.  The Republicans are definitely out there but it’s just been harder for me to find and I’ve been looking!

Imagine my surprise when I was on my way to school the other day and noticed a McCain ’08 sign, posted in the front window of a house.  I was in Weehawken Township, a riverside town in north Jersey, right across the Hudson from New York City. 

New Jersey is a typically Democratic state and it’s been hard to find the strong show of McCain support amongst the Obamamania.

But there, nestled between two American flags, was a McCain ’08 sign.  A quick survey of the house also showed a late-model Toyota with McCain stickers dotting the bumper.

Now if that’s not a change from what many would call the “norm” around here, I don’t know it is.  

Sound off!  Have you seen many outward displays of Republican pride in your neighborhoods?  Any McCain/Palin posters popping up?

Drop a line and let’s hear about it.
