Next Election Predicted by # of Branded Goods
Rob Walker on his blog typed in Obama and McCain into Etsy and got the following number of handmade goods for each candidate:
However, McCain features “Golf Gear” as one of the main items on his site, equal footing with Strategy, Decision Center and General Election.
One of the visitors to his site had this to say:
“I never cottoned to the idea that I should give up my Wednesday golf game just because there’s a war on. Our Commander in Chief has already made this sacrifice for us, turning in his clubs out of respect for the 4,000+ families who welcomed home a corpse, rather than their serviceman or servicewoman. So let’s hit the links! And what better way than with a John McCain golf bag? Nothing better identifies you with the wealthy, graying elite than zipping your balls behind the proud McCain brand.” (via Brand New Day blog).
