John McCain has seven (!) houses. Once you get over that shocker, consider that last week he waffled on the fact, saying he wasn't sure how many he owned. This makes you think that:
Either we're experiencing election-season mania or this is pretty hilarious.
Part of an artist collaboration series curated by Upper Playground, proceeds from this
limited edition print
benefit the creation of more Obama merch in support of his bid for the presidency.
Things are about to get interesting — with the conventions on the horizon and only a few months to go until November, the gloves are bound to come off during the upcoming debates. In a battle of televised wits, who do you think will come out on top?
And you thought he couldn't handle the
3 A.M. phone call!

What's that on the bumper of John McCain's tour bus?
(Hint: if you guessed a Barack Obama bumper sticker, you win!)
Even though we know McCain's an Abba man, let's just suppose for a moment that he might honor the Land of 10,000 Lakes with a more local musical accompaniment when he takes the stage at this year's Minneapolis-based Republican National Convention. Take your pick for the McCain hometown-musician nomination acceptance theme:
Among Barack Obama's most unpopular (well, depending on who you ask) supporters: Phil Spector.
The curiously-coiffed guy behind the Wall of Sound, the silliest Ramones album and the (alleged) murder of his B-movie girlfriend
recently turned up in court
wearing a "Barack Obama Rocks" button. Groundbreaking? Hardly. But bizarre nonetheless.
Choose your candidate, then choose your shoes: Tom's
created these election-season shoes for donkeys and elephants alike, so everybody's a winner. (Full disclosure: among other
places, we're selling 'em, too...)
It's finally August. With the Democratic National Convention just a few weeks away and Barack passing the hat for spare change, the Obama campaign has launched a star-style contest: donate now and you'll be entered to win a trip for two to travel to Denver for the Main Event — plus backstage passes to hang with Captain Hope. So, are you in or are you out?
Stay classy, Obama supporters: long after the votes are tallied,
this pin will still be pretty awesome.
Because let's face it — come December those red, white & blue campaign buttons are going to be sad, weird or quite possibly both.
Print Liberation does it again, this time illustrating ol' Johnny at his zaniest.
The Summer drags on, and still we're without VP candidates. Who's going to throw the first punch and announce their running mate for the '08 election?
Just in case you're wondering why he hasn't emailed/poked/friended you: John McCain and the internet
aren't BFFs.
The upside? If he’s elected we know he won’t be killing time on YouTube when he's supposed to be fixing stuff.
Sometimes a moving picture is worth a thousand unsaid words.
Of all the campaign chaos that's gone down so far, which election season mis-speak has been the most cringe-worthy:
Among other campaign promises, Barack Obama has pledged to buy his daughters a dog when the race is over. That said, the American Kennel Club has launched a poll to help him decide on a potentially-presidential pooch. At press time the Chinese Crested was trailing, with the Poodle and Wheaten Terrier breeds in a dead heat. (You can't make this stuff up.)
Torn between giving Barry your hard-earned cash and scoring some new stuff? Elect to buy this laser-cut necklace from Brookadelphia and they'll donate ten bucks of the purchase price to the Obama campaign – everybody wins.
They say there's so much good in the best of us, and so much bad in the best of us - while you're pondering that, why not vote for which of John McCain's most interesting qualities you might most appreciate having in the White House?
First there was the Encyclopedia Baracktannica widget, and now there's the Political Addictionary.
Decode the reporters, add your own words and repurpose the most annoying examples into everyday conversation.
(Hey, it's one way to kill time between now and November...)
While John McCain's busy listening to Abba,
somebody finally asked Barack Obama what's on his iPod. Want more random details?

When it comes to politics, the only sure bet is that anything can happen. (There's no other explanation for Arnie lording over the great state of California, let's face it.) That said, pick your favorite of the following famous elected officials:

In honor of July 4th barbeques everywhere, it's time for a campaign trail classic — the all-too-telling, yet arguably pointless Beer Question. So, who would you rather split the bar tab with?

out there and the traveling

Obama spoke cards? We have seen it all.
This one's for the Hillary supporters. Now that she's off the ballot, will you:
Alright, so four well-designed Obama mini-buttons for $5 is just too liberal a
deal for you?
John McCain is here to save the day, with a giant 3" mount-meets-eagle
situation,
all topped off with a questionable silhouette of the original McCainiac. Priceless.
Print Liberation's four-pack of Obama buttons —
because you're going to need some variety to get you through the next six months.
Promises, promises. All the candidates make 'em. That said, what's your issue?
Who could forget the chad fiasco of 2000?
Well, lots of people. That's where this necklace comes in.
So you've got a crush on Captain Hope? The next logical step would be to stalk
him on Twitter. Because that's not creepy.
