For me, a tie between the Perot '92 and Clinton/Gore '92 stickers I pass on my commute to school.

Back in Kentucky it was Bush 2000.  Bush 2004 and Obama 2008 are still common.

Whenever I visit Orange County I see Bush/Cheney 04 stickers. That's actually the only place I ever see them.

When I lived in Connecticut there was a Lowell Weicker bumpersticker plastered to a stop sign in Westport for years, it's probably still there.

Don't think I've ever seen anything older than Kerry/Edwards 2004, Bush 2004 and maybe Bush 2000.

I've seen some '90s ones but only on cars that have a ton, and those don't count.

There's a Frank Mascara for Congress sticker I've seen every day since 1994. I think it'll be there until doomsday.

I saw a Conrad Burns bumper sticker a few years ago. Which is odd. Especially considering it was six years later. And more than halfway across America.

This isn't really a thing here.  Most of the town is only like five years old, and the residents have been here half as long.

I've saw a "I'm still with Mel" sticker on a pickup truck one time. Made my day.

I have a Kerry / Edwards sign on my wall (actually my girlfriend's sign). So that.

I saw a Clinton 96 bumper sticker on a beat up truck when I was near Gainesville.

I once saw a Mondale-Ferraro sticker on a car that had clearly not been made until after 1984. Someone trying to be ironic, no doubt.

The white oval W'04 stickers make the occasional cameo appearance in Houston traffic.

Strangest one was a house near where I grew up that had Bush/Cheney 2000 signs in all the front windows during that election. They stayed up and a couple of years later, the house was shut up. I don't know if they moved or walked away from a mortgage or what. People still came to regularly now the yard, but it was clear that no one lived there. By the early part of this decade, the signs were still up and so faded that you could barely read them. Someone new finally bought it and moved in (and took down the signs).

It's not that old, but I saw a Thelma Drake bumper sticker the other day that definitely perplexed me.

I forget exactly which one but there's a lamp post near me with a worn Perot '92 sticker on it.

Only for parties. And those are all taken down in the 2 weeks after an election.

You can only find old election posters somewhere on the Internet ...

There's a lamppost nearby that kind of acts as a free speech poll and there's a Bush/Quayle '88 sticker on there as well as a Dawn Clark Netsch for Governor (1994) sticker.

Is that by law or just a custom?

I think I saw a Jim Abdnor sticker once (Senator from SD, 1981-1987).
