Chowder in the Morning
This morning I was interviewed by Arnie Arneson , talk show host of Chowder in the Morning, a New Hampshire radio program on 1110 WCCM which airs Monday through Friday from 6 to 9 a.m. It was fun to talk about the bumper sticker project, blog and paper I am working on for the advertising effectiveness seminar. Arnie ran for governor in 1992 and had a bumper sticker that read, “Arnie, just call her governor.”
Arneson believes in the power of the bumper sticker as an advertising tool, though she lost her bid to Steve Merrill, John Sununu’s former Attorney General (she received more votes for Governor than any Democrat in state history up to that time).
It was a quick interview, light, breezy and fun, and to think that this project could generate interest in the “other” first-in-the-nation state. The 2008 New Hampshire Primary will be held Tuesday, January 8, five days after the 2008 Iowa Caucus, which will be conducted on Thursday, January 3.

Hi Patti. In 2004,I remember reading, though can't remember exactly where (probably on conservative blogs), about cars with Republican bumper stickers getting vandalized. My suspicion is that because of that, and because conservatism is not politically correct, that Republicans are less likely to have bumper stickers. I haven't read all your entries, maybe you've addressed this.
My favorite bumper sticker was when Bush 41 was running; it was something like "Annoy the media Vote BUSH."
Marlene, thanks for your question. Sorry it took me a while to get back to this, but I wanted to give it a thoughtful answer. Please see the blog entry for December 26. Bill and I intend to go bar crawling to look for political and media celebs the night before the 2008 Iowa Caucuses. We will look for you at the hot haunts in downtown Des Moines! Patti
