Illinois Review has this fascinating article of predicable popular culture:
T-SHIRT SALES INDICATE PALIN VS OBAMA IN 2012
If T-shirt and presidential product sales predict the future in American politics, 2012 will be a Palin vs. Obama race. CafePress writes: The people have spoken and they want to see a Sarah Palin vs. Barack Obama showdown in the 2012 election. Although Palin’s Republican peers Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann, and now Jon Huntsman have officially declared their candidacy, the American public is throwing their support behind “Mama Grizzly” for the 2012 Election – on T-shirts that is.
It may be 503 days away, but politically-minded citizens have already designed over 500,000 presidential election products on CafePress, the go-to site for customizable merchandise (think “royal wedding crasher” and “Weinergate” tees).
Sarah Palin has yet to declare her candidacy, but Palin-themed merchandise already makes up a whopping 66 percent of Obama challenger sales and 34 percent of all 2012 election product sales.
Mitt Romney made it official several weeks ago but his product sales make up a small percentage of Obama’s challengers at 3 percent of election product sales.
Michele Bachmann is also in Palin’s shadow, with products contributing to only 1 percent of election product sales.
Since CafePress has seen its T-shirt sales predict the winner of the previous three presidential elections, it’s clear that these Republican contenders have their work cut out for them.

Romney is looking a little soft. Even softer than Gingrich, which tells you everything you need to know about Mitt.
Dude may as well hang it up now, and save the money. He's going nowhere (is that the MSM I hear crying?).

Yes, but that’s only because they haven’t printed up those “20bama12!” t’s. Those’re gonna FLY off the racks! (Or Sharpton will burn down the t-shirt stores.)

Also, keep an eye out for Hallowe’en costume sales. Which likely candidates will be popular costumes this year?

Interesting! Ain't it though? I ran into the link on another thread and thought this was worthy of its own thread.
This curious statistic is just one more indicator of where this race is really headed (as if we didn't already know).
Read it and weep, PDSers!

Also, keep an eye out for Hallowe’en costume sales. Which likely candidates will be popular costumes this year? Now, that's something to ponder. Besides Sarah and Zero, who's still gonna be in the race in late October?
There's a demolition derby going on right now.

Sarah would wipe the floor with 0bama’s shirt. If not his skinny butt. LOL
Watching Sarah tear him into confetti is going to be the thrill of a lifetime. Her inauguration is going to be even better!

God people, she can’t win. The media said so. Freepers have said so. It’s as plain as day she can’t win for the simple fact that she can’t win. Wishing it doesn’t change the fact that she can’t win because, clearly, she can’t win.
