Good Morning!

Reminder to register to vote and don't forget to exercise your right & vote in Michigan General Election for President of the United States on Tuesday, November 4, 2008. As of March 27, 2008 the candidates competing for Democratic Party Convention nomination are New York Senator Hillary Clinton & Illinois Senator Barack Obama. Hillary Clinton For President 2008 website link is www.HillaryClinton.com. Barack Obama For President 2008 website link is www.BarackObama.com. On the Republican - GOP side Senator John McCain is the presumptive nominee at the Republican National Convention. John McCain For President 2008 website link is www.JohnMcCain.com.

You think you've seen everything during the election campaign 08 for President & then something different for a change happens. Stumbled upon this the other day. Polls are heard daily reflecting everything, but a button poll is clearly unique. The site's intro:

The rules of the GOP Shoppe's Vice Presidential Button Poll are simple - every button sold counts as one vote for that potential running mate. The potential Vice Presidential candidates used in this poll are purely speculation and in no way reflect any official choices. As in past VP Button Polls, we welcome any other suggestions to add to the list. No active Presidential candidates will be added to the list. Vote as early and as often as you like, you could affect the future of one VP hopeful. See the current status of your choice on the Current VP Button Poll Results page.

Brain stuff: A campaign button that has 2 individuals on it is referred to as a jugate.

All of the 2008 presidential campaigns have been the most creative & innovative in the history of US Presidential Elections. This is another example of forward thinking. There are other collectibles & stuff here also.
Main Page is www.gopshoppe.com has current and previous election campaign stuff.

Likewise, Dem Store also has current & past election campaign memorabilia & collectibles. For example, saw Gore 2008 campaign things on Dem Store site. There is other political merchandise from candidates who were previously in the race for the 08 nomination.
Main Page is www.demstore.com

Long time no post! A little rusty, but like a fine wine, hopefully I've aged gracefully! Saw some of those great rock & roll acts on PBS the other night & those cats still rock, so there's hope for the rest of us over fifties, sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties, and 100 years old. The radio & TV coverage of the 2008 Presidential election usually shows the candidates official websites. Most of us have internet access & can click the sites to learn more. Below is a list of the leading candidates websites with their official online stores. Maybe you're into collecting political paraphernalia or would like to wear a campaign button or put a sticker on your bumper. How about a hat with your favorites name on it. Perhaps a keychain tickles your fancy. Coffee mugs with the candidates logo on it. Hmmm...wonder why they haven't thought of putting their mug on the mug along with their name? One candidate has a wall clock, think it was Mike Huckabee. If I remember right, Chuck Norris is on some of the buttons. Different. Barack Obama has a campaign button that says Republicans For Obama. That is interesting & could be a future collectible. John McCain has some cool stuff with the naval star on it & New Hampshire & South Carolina pinbacks. Hillary Clinton has photo campaign buttons & other great merchandise as do all of the leading candidates. There's a lot of stuff, but why spoil the fun? Check out the links for the Presidential Candidates Official 2008 Campaign stores. I'll also put links to the official homepages, also. In fact, explore & research all of the candidates policies & positions and make the great American choice we will all make on Election Day, Tuesday, November 4th 2008!
