The BuyCostumes.com Presidential Mask Election Predictor is HERE for the 2004 Election ! You'll remember the mask predictions from the 2000 Presidential Election, as referred to by many media sources including CNN, the Associated Press, the Wall Street Journal and USA Today.

What is the Presidential Mask Election Predictor? In 2000, due to the popularity of political masks, BuyCostumes.com began publishing statistics on each Presidential Candidate's mask sales. It was soon apparent that the mask sales were as good a resource as the polls being published by major national media groups. Seeing the similarities, BuyCostumes.com then looked into some data on political mask sales in election years. Not only did they ask five different mask manufacturers, they also spoke with 12 national stores about their sales history all the way back to 1980. Their findings were astounding and right every time....

Year Winner Loser
1980 Reagan = 60% Carter = 40%
1984 Reagan = 68% Mondale = 32%
1988 Bush = 62% Dukakis = 38%
1992 Clinton = 41% Bush 39%
1996 Clinton = 56% Dole = 40%
2000 Bush = 57% Gore = 43%
With the 2004 Presidential Election campaigns underway, BuyCostumes.com has once again produced the Original Presidential Mask Election Predictor to provide reporting on candidate masks sales. John Kerry is going "face to face" with George W., and this is the one source for accurate, national statistics as based on sales of their caricature masks. This poll can be accessed from BuyCostumes.com and will show you up-to-the minute stats. Visit our Political Mask area to see all the other faces available! We did it in 2000, and we'll do it again in 2004 - keep coming back for more info on who'll be the next President of the United States of America!

No doubt the mask makers saved big time this year on the Kerry mask molds. Just don't be surprised when the doorbell rings this year and the one ringing the doorbell says, "You Rang."

I already bought a Kerry mask from these people. I'm going to put it on a straw dummy and sit it on a crapper in my front yard with a "Flush the Johns" sticker.

I saw some presidential masks at Target last week. The GW Bush mask doesn't look anything like him, but the Clinton mask was dead on. The Reagan and Nixon masks remain the best ever.

I tried to talk my wife into getting the little "lady pirate" outfit (growwwwlllllllllllll), but she just rolled her eyes and walked to the stationary section.
