MY ANALYSIS OF bumper-sticker aesthetics from last month is echoed by people with more credentials here. I still think the Kerry-Edwards logo is a winner, though some experts disagree.

UPDATE: Jeez, everybody’s a critic. Reader Barbara Grogan emails:

Why are you wasting space on the bumper-sticker gap?

If the election is lost, the pro-war Blogosphere will deserve some blame. You have not been filling in the spaces left by the weak rhetorical style of President Bush. What are these spaces? [1] the role of Iran as Middle East terrorist puppet master since 1979; [2] the consequences of Kerry’s pacifying of elites rather than pushing forward with new Middle East democracies; [3] the enfranchisement of the European laissez-faire attitude toward terrorism as the
approach least suited to combating it; [4] the consequences of being liked in the world, rather than feared or respected.

Please link to themes like these, and leave the bumper-sticker jive to less worthy sites.

I do support Bush over Kerry, but I don’t see getting Bush reelected as my job. If it were, he’d be several percent higher in the polls. Sorry. If you want that, go to BlogsforBush or something. Heck, I don’t even see blogging as my job.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Reader Gabe Posey emails:

People relying on you to get Bush reelected is like people relying on Lileks to give Minnesota a normal political atmosphere. Sure, you might contribute, but the situation just is what it is.

Yeah, that’s how I see it. I think my influence is overstated by both fans and critics.
