Actually, in this area it would be rare. Volvo's are normally associated with the crunchy granola tree-hugging crowd up here.
I know it doesn't make sense, but it's the upper middle class and the welfare class that tend to lean democrat around here. Joe six-pack in a beat up chevy p/u is more likely to have a Bush/Cheny sticker (next to the "Protected by Smith & Wesson" sticker).

I agree with Clancy. It would be more than passing strange to see a "Volvo for Bush" sticker in the wilds of Westchester County, NY.

Not necessarily redundant...but pretty retarded considering the amount of paint those stickers tend to pull off those pretty "pearl white" finishes.
Oh well. They can use their Reublican tax breaks (or find some insurance loophole) to have the paint fixed for free.

I'm talking sedan, y'all, not station wagon.

Funny, I always thought of that as a classic upwardly-mobile Liberalmobile. I mean, it's from Sweden! The great white socialist hope of the north!
Here I see Bush/Cheney stickers on the back of Ford F150s. Now
that's redundant. Especially as it's always next to an American flag sticker.

A new Volvo sedan, maybe yes. But a used Volvo? Hell no. Drivers of used Volvos are generally looking for a dependable, sturdy car and don't have tons of money. Like yours truly, who is still vehicle-less and would be more than pleased with a motorized cardboard box on wheels.
Of course, here in good ol' ATL we have people 'pimping out' their pickup trucks, then plastering Bush/Cheney, hunting, and Rebel/Confederate stickers on them. (I swear the Civil War never ended down here!) But our most ardent Bush/Cheney supporters (who also tend to be the wealthiest) don't dare besmirch their brand new Jaguar/Mercedes/BMW/Porsche/Cadillac with a sticker. That would completely ruin the $5,000 paint job! *gasp shock horror*

Here in the Left Coast *all* the older Volvos are held together with sickers ...er, s
tickers like, "Imagine Whirled Peas" "My other car is a broom" "Free the whales" "Michael Moore is my copilot" and the like.
Heck, the other day I even saw a "Humphrey for President" sitcker. Though they were talking about the whale... I think....

Volvos are like liberal pupas. The Lefty enters the car and then undergoes metamorphosis while on I-95, before emerging as a fully-formed blowfly at an anti-Bush rally. Somebody get a can of Raid.
That said, the old 240 series Volvos are seriously good vehicles. And while they may have a Swedish pedigree, Ford now owns Volvo. Think of them as Ford's Acura brand.
