Obama Merc

NBC:

We've had the Bubba Gap. The Women Gap. And now comes the "Gift Gap." At political gift stores across America, Barack Obama schlock is outselling John McCain schlock at least five to one, according to interviews NBC News conducted with gift-shop retailers and t-shirt manufacturers.

That would mean that five times as many Obama t-shirts are on the streets...five times as many Obama bumper stickers are junking up cars...and five times as many Obama bobble heads are wiggling on desks across America.

Read the whole story: NBC

The only "merchandise" that Obama has to have more of is...more votes on election day in enough states so he has 270 electoral votes Then we'll go out and buy "party hardy" merchandise!!!

Memo to: Volvo, Hume, Dentuso, Kellygrrl, Thunderclap, LiberalBuzz, ErnestineBass, et al: Stop trashing people, just because they don't agree with you. How does that further any dialogue that you so "pretend" to embrace? You're not helping anything, you're destroying it! Why?

Oh yeah, I'll be posting this everywhere and every chance I get. Now, fess up, how many of you are getting paid from HuffPo or from other sources? C'mon, you can tell me....

Don't mean jack unless they show up to vote on Nov. 4th. Know a lot of people who bought Kerry-Edwards T-shirt, put on the bumper stickers, then had "better things" to do on Nov. 4, 2004.

Comforting Sleep Masks: currently being used by McCain, 24/7.

World Maps, McCain style: Fill in the Blanks

Dictionaries: Includes "BushSpeak"

Fortune Cookies: includes John McCain's World Policies

(Bottles of Mouthwash and Bars of Soap are included)

T-Shirts: McCAIN+BUSH=McSAME

The reason for the gap is pretty simple,Not many want to carry the sign "Bomb Bomb Bomb or Lets kill them with Cigarettes" on their chest. On the other hand,everyone want to be a symbol of "HOPE",It just makes folks feel good.

I wore my "Michelle for First Lady" tee at a festival two weeks ago, and every 5 feet someone stopped me to ask where I got it....and there were a sea of people wearing Obama tees....never did see any McCain gear on anyone.

I guess the "organic" Obama T-shirts advertised on this page are made of cotton?

Remember to buy all your O gear from the campaign website store or local O office so the money goes to the campaign.

All official O gear is UNION MADE in the USA. No made-in-China flag pins allowed.
