There's a Bush-Cheney placard in the window across the street from me still.

I should talk—I've got a Dukakis/Bentson campaign sign on my wall... right under a Monorail campaign sign.

Build the Monorail! We Like Mike Dukakis!

I've still got a Monorail sign in my front window.

There's still a "No Iraq War" sign in the window of an office opposite mine. What is that even supposed to mean? I'm sorry, but yes, there is an Iraq War. "No Santa"? "No God"? I'm with you. But "No Iraq War"? That's just denial at this point.

Dan @2, that admission should be part of the Slog post.  Until I read that, it looked like you were just trolling.

I still have my DEAN poster too, but it's in the closet. I grabbed an Obama one at the caucuses just in case I had to leave it behind in the closet with Dean....that sounds bad doesn't it? But still. Leave it IN the closet. :p

So somebody's late in doing their cleaning up. So what?

Dan? Just trolling? Never. (Hey, at least he's not bitching about the weather today.)

I've got a "President Nixon. Now more than ever" bumper sticker. It hangs on my wall without irony.

Without irony is the new irony.

I want one of those Wellstone! bumper stickers. My friend has one. I hope to steal it from him one day.

I had an Edwards sign in the window until last weekend.

My car bumper still has a Dean for America sticker on it, and my back windshield still has a Kerry Edwards sticker from the last election. They will be replaced when a new Democratic candidate has been announced at the convention, and any stickers will remain for four years if the Republican candidate is sucessful. I am proud to display my political position.

My Bartlet/Palmer sticker will never be outdated . . .

A woman asked me to sign a Nader ballot petition yesterday. She was nice and rather timid. I kind of felt sorry for her. I still didn't sign.

This makes me want to create a looks-like-I-stole-it Orange Road street sign to hang on my wall, now that the few hundred people who would have thought it was cool 20 years ago will mostly no longer admit to even getting the allusion.

I've got a small bag of Jimmy Carter peanuts kicking around somewhere, my mother has a McGovern/Shriver button.

@16: I have no idea what you're talking about.

But if we're having show and tell, I have an old civil defense fallout shelter sign. Capacity 101!

I still have a Grant Cogswell for City Council postcard. It has a photo of the monorail on it so it's doubly disappointing.

I'm currently wearing a pretty sweet "Anarchy" shirt that my mother bought for me in the 7th grade. I'm 30 now.

I still have a crush on Judy Nicastro.

I'm eating Barbara's Peanut Butter Puffins cereal right now. And it's after 11:00!!!!!

The woman across the street from me has a Hillary sign in her window. I thought about giving her an Obama sign as a gesture of "Welcome to the Team" but I think it will probably just be interpreted as schadenfreude.

I've got some cans of Billy Beer in my mom's attic!

@21 - we all do.

My first political pin was a silver tie tac of Adlai Stevenson's shoe sole with a hole in it.

Now seeking the Hillary equivalent - maybe a high heel impaling a testicle or a piece of ceiling glass with 18 million cracks.

"I Nearly Got Shot Like Anwar Sadat" folding chairs would be something.

I've still got a Dukakis for President pin in a drawer somewhere, and I kept one of those black-and-white NO WAR posters from 1991 for about ten years until it finally fell apart in my closet.
