The great bumper-sticker mystery

"...What a quiet bumper-sticker season this campaign has seemed. Look around. How many 2012 presidential bumper-stickers do you see? For either candidate?" asks Mary Schmich of The Chicago Tribune.  "Four years ago, political passion burst from bumpers everywhere, for Barack Obama, for Hillary Rodham Clinton, for John McCain and Sarah Palin. This week, I went in search of bumper-stickers in my neighborhood, and on an eight-block stroll, I did find one, but it was on a window not a bumper."
This seems to be a national phenomenon. Is it indifference, the result of too many negative campaign ads on TV? Or what? More here.
