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.
I want to see the look on his arrogant face when the returns start coming in and it dawns on his dim mind that all the dem BS, all the MSM cheerleading wasn’t nearly enough to save him.
I want that picture immortalized, side by side with the Mussolini shot we were talking about on another thread.
And I REALLY want to see her highness explode in a fit of rage on camera.
Exactly—notice I didn’t say they’d SELL. :)
On the radio someone said they saw a bumper sticker that read: “And you thought BUSH sucked????”
Alright, you're gonna make me wake up the wife! I could barely stifle the laughter, reading that. So true....
I bet he'll look something like this on election night....
I fully expect to see horns emerge from his forehead and a tail sprout from his arse.
I sure did. Figured I'd fill in the blank for ya. Obama's the king of the looters, don'cha know.
I wanted to get it up there before the inevitable blathering of the PDS crowd arrived ;)
Someone already got a pic of Bammy with his horns out...
Yea, that’s pretty close to what I imagine happening. Anything as evil as he is can’t hide it’s true face forever ;)
Well, they can all join Zero for a big ole group cry on election night, 2012.
My God, Look at that Witch!
Awesome picture.
Obama, spreadin’ the wealth.
New drinking game: Every time during the election that Obama mentions Bin Ladin, take a drink. (NOT recommended for use with alcoholic beverages unless you have a stomach pump handy. If you can afford one under Obamacare.)
Who is buying the Gingrich shirts???
She’s gonna blow. She enjoys the trappings of power too much. You can see the disdain and superiority pour out of her in everything she does.
When she has to use the money I’m sure that’s been embezzled instead of riding the gravy train, when the media no longer has to whorship her as a goddess (they’ll go back to Hilliary) she will go postal.
I'm tellin' ya. I remember thinking the same thing when that picture was first published. You can just feel the anger and contempt seething out of her every pore.
I used to think Hillary was a witch. That was before Michelle showed us what the real deal looks like.
Calista -- who else? LOL
Here’s a really disturbing thought. Imagine how much better off we’d be if HC was president today?
Seriously.
Perhaps that's why Barry's all wee-wee'd up in that picture. He knows he's got an ass whupping coming ..
(big inhale -- huge exhale...)
My guess is, we'd be somewhat better off, but only because Hillary isn't half the militant, radical Marxist that Obama is. She'd be pushing for many of the same things that Obama is on the domestic front, but I think we'd be in far better shape with our allies, if she had won.
Hard to say what she would have done with Iraq and Afghanistan, though. I suspect that she would have done the same in Iraq as Barry did, but I don't have a clue about Afghanistan. Roll of the dice there.
As to the economy, I doubt we'd be in near as much trouble as we are now. I think we'd still be worse off, than under Bush, but not $14 Trillion in debt. Right now, she'd probably be repeating Bubba's move to the middle, in anticipation of the coming election.
