While some polls after the Republican and Democratic conventions show Donald Trump tied with Hillary Clinton, internet retailer CafePress claims it can accurately track the electorate’s mood with its large consumer base — and customers appear to be decidedly anti-Hillary. Anti-Hillary merchandise outsells anti-Trump merchandise by a staggering 814.88 percent, according to the Louisville Business First. (Both the site and CafePress are based in Louisville, Kentucky.) Anti-Hillary gear also outsells pro-Trump products. Given that Trump supporters are chased, beaten, and intimidated for showing their support in public, the pro-Trump sentiment could be suppressed. Sales in 2016 are 50 percent higher...

Which presidential candidate is leading in the polls — Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump? That depends on what poll you're looking at, and some of them are likely more accurate than others. But while most rely on simply asking people which candidate they prefer, CafePress Inc. CEO Fred Durham says it might be better to look at people who vote with their dollar. "That's the energized vote bank that's going to show up on Election Day," he said. "That's the most passionate part of the population." The Louisville-based internet retailer sells loads of political gear on its website, and keeps...

One of the leading online election related merchants is Café Press. They sell Tee shirts and anything else with candidates’ names on it.. Café Press has no political bent; they are just merchants selling what people want. If people like what they are selling they will make more of that product.

When CP compared its Obama items sales figures this past week...

WASHINGTON: Anti-Obama merchandise has hit the US market as the president’s economic and health care policies continue to draw frowns. ( Watch Video ) Popular slogans were apparently being rephrased amid growing doubt over the policies. These include “Mama for Obama” being replaced with “To the Mama for Obama — thanks for the tax hike”, “Yes, we can” becoming “No, he can’t”, “The Audacity of Hype” retooled to the title of Obama’s popular book, ‘The Audacity of Hope’. “It really started peaking about a month ago,” said Amy Maniatis, from the online seller Cafepress.com. “You see it as a direct...

I need some help, Freepers. I have been selling quite a bit of Sarah Palin-inspired merchandise through Cafepress since she was announced as John McCain's running mate. I am fully aware that there are people who do not feel the same way that we do about Sarah Palin, and I have no issue with anti-Palin merchandise being sold through Cafepress. That's a free exchange of ideas and opinions. However, today, I was looking through the Cafepress marketplace, and I started to notice some of the vicious anti-Palin stuff that's out there. I will not print the whole quote, but there...

CHICAGO, IL, August 30, 2008 - The dynamic speeches of Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton at the 2008 Democratic Convention have sent CafePress Websites like www.AngryMobTshirts.com into a frenzy. "Even Republicans are saying Hillary and Bill hit it out the park" says owner Lisa Lashawn. While other T-shirts designers were at home glued to the screen, her staffers had T-shirts with "Thanks but, no thanks" ready to go on CafePress before Bill Clinton even finished his speech! Clinton spoke the phrase after talking about Republican John McCain. Clinton believes McCain would give America four more years of the last eight...

WASHINGTON (AFP) - \Barack Obama is trouncing John McCain in the race for the White House -- at least in sales of T-shirts, badges, baseball caps and other campaign merchandise. "Everyone is going for Obama," a sidewalk vendor whose stand was smothered in Obama and McCain T-shirts, along with garb for visitors to Washington, told AFP. "We sell about 70 percent Obama stuff -- way more than McCain," said the vendor, who asked not to be named. Obama-embroidered baseball caps sat in the center of the stand; the absence of a McCain equivalent was striking. "I don't think our wholesaler...

Jul 21st, 2008 The RNC agrees to remove the Republican Elephant from CafePress’ Endangered Species List - Grand Old Party Ensues! Some of you may have seen some of the media coverage (maybe here, here, or here) regarding the Republican National Committee’s recent complaints about our shopkeepers’ use of the terms “GOP,” “Grand Old Party,” “Republican National Committee,” “RNC,” and various elephant designs. To sum it up: back in February, the RNC demanded that CafePress “cease and desist from allowing vendors to utilize the federally registered trademarks of the RNC” and threatened legal action. While we’re open to working...

The first rule of swimming with sharks is not to get bitten. The second rule is that, if you do get bitten, don’t bleed, and under no circumstances must you thrash around. It doesn’t help, and it only serves to attract more sharks. As shown by Michelle Malkin, MoveOn.org is not only bleeding like a stuck pig, it is also thrashing around like a leftist overdosing on drugs.

I've seen some hilarious graphics work here satirizing the Memogate scandal, some much better than mine. If you've created a cartoon or graphic, take a few minutes and upload it to Cafepress.com to sell it as a T-shirt. It doesn't cost anything to do this. It will help raise public awareness and you might make a few bucks out of it in the process. It is a win-win. Below are the two I've done. I've sold a few of each...
