The Political Bumpers project has closed. It ran from September 20 to October 31, 2004 and collected a total of 1342 bumpers. This is what came of it.

Project Summary

This project exists for one reason: to detail the results of an extremely unscientific research project about the correlation between the car someone drives and their political leaning. All data is collected informally by a group of people I know.

Notes:

* Though Nader didn't run on Green Party ticket in 2004, any Nader bumper stickers (for past or present elections) were classified as "Green." Other third parties or unclear political leanings will be classified as "Other."
* Generally, if a submission could not be determined to be a specific type of car (for instance, a model reported that could be either a sedan or a wagon), it wasn't entered the database. The same goes for submissions that were "unclear" as to the type of vehicle for any other reason.
* Cars without a specific make/model were included as long as they could be classified as a certain type of vehicle.
* Spotters were allowed to count their own cars if they were displaying a bumper sticker.
* There were no fatalities due to overzealous bumper spotting. Thank goodness... my insurance wouldn't cover that.

1. Why would someone do that to a car? n/t

2. Because it had already been rear-ended a couple of times and scratched-up.

Eventually, the bumper will have to be replaced when it's time to sell the car anyway.

Interesting perspective
about the correlation
between political beliefs,
what we drive, and what we
stick on the bumper of what
we drive.
