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 makes McCain baseball caps," the vendor said.
On the Café Press website, where users create and sell products to express their political passion, Obama garb made up 66 percent of sales in the week from July 13; McCain kits made up 14 percent of sales in the same seven-day period.
McCain didn't do that much better than Hillary Clinton, who racked up nine percent of sales on Café Press -- and Clinton dropped out of the race for the nomination in June.
At Capital Noveltees, a wholesaler that supplies campaign merchandise to retail outlets around the United States, sales of things Obama were also making revenues from McCain goods look pale and flat.

LOl, I;ve never heard of those...
Really catchy slogan. I find myself reading it over and over..
BTW that is why so many men call themselves liberal, just to be around liberal women.
Ya get over it, tho.
(If only I knew how to change "France" to "Hussein"....
I live in an NC county that tilts red (54-46 Bush last time) and I rarely see a McCain sticker. I probably see ten times as many BHO stickers. No question he is losing the bumpersticker war badly. Thankfully our elections aren’t decided by bumperstickers. I think he has more excited and fervent supporters than McCain who seems to have few conservatives excited but BHO also has a substantially higher number of people who can’t stand him than McCain does.
Perhaps McCain supporters put higher priority on paying mortgages and school tuition than on buying t-shirts.
That girl is most definitely NOT GUILTY.
