Congressman Says Bumper Sticker = $250

Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, (R-MD), puts a lot of stock in the power of bumper stickers.

According to The Frederick News Post, he is encouraging supporters of Scott Rolle's Attorney General Campaign in Maryland to put a bumper sticker on their cars. Here's why:

"Let me tell you what that bumper sticker does," he said, "it's worth about $250 in advertising.'

A lot of people will not vote party line, nor will they vote on issues, he said.

'They're going to vote for a perceived winner, and there's nothing like having a perceived winner if about every third car you see on the road has a Scott Rolle bumper sticker on it,' Mr. Bartlett said. 'That sends a message."

All I know is: Out on the road today, I saw a deadhead sticker on a cadillac. A little voice inside my head said ... That sends a message!
