Hilarious idea! Hope it ruffles some feathers. As for Washington's reputation as either liberal or conservative, in my mind Seattle had a reputation as a city which had taken strides in reducing its environmental impact and as a city that supported the arts. On the other hand, I'd heard that Washington state, along with the rest of the Pacific Northwest, had been deemed a "white homeland" by far, far right white supremacist types. One thing I hadn't been prepared for when I visited the state several years ago, though, was the anti-environmental sentiment I saw displayed on bumpers in non-urban areas. I'm from the notoriously right-wing state of Texas, but I have never seen as many anti-environmental bumper stickers as I saw in Washington state, nasty things like "Save America: Shoot an environmentalist!"
