Well, just when the candidates were fading a bit from the news, we have a possible new candidate in Michael Bloomberg. Seems like New York is now left, right and center in the election! Now the question is "Will he run?" Heck, we don't even have more than a "maybe" from Fred Thompson.
But Michael Bloomberg adds so much intrigue and possibility to the race. Now it is getting veddy, veddy interesting! Will he take votes from his predecessor? from the democrats? from the huge middle ground?
Bloomberg, in my view, is the polar opposite of Obama. One makes things happen and the other talks about great ideas. Right now we have a scarcity of both qualities and must find some new direction.
So, if you think Bloomberg is the man, now is the time to support his candidacy with a hat or t-shirt. Check out Bloomberg's colorful hats!

Does "Haliburton" Mean Dog Days of Summer?
During the past week there hasn't been much interest in the presidential candidates as shown in my monitoring. Perhaps things will liven up when the next series of debates nears. CandidateStuff.com did have a recent visit by someone from AirAmerica which was promptly followed by a visitor from Haliburton! Are there spies following my observations?
This blog reports interest shown in particular presidential candidates, as well as the group as a whole. I track the visitors to certain websites offering many designs—on t-shirts, hats, bumper stickers, magnets and pins—for 10 of the major candidates. This week's level of interest in the candidates is the lowest in many months. The leader, for the first time, is Fred Thompson. It is not that Fred has excited people; it seems people are getting bored a bit with the news coverage of the candidates.
If the issues are not compelling enough, then do we need some new scandals to get the interest back? What about the church sex-scandal connection to a friend of Rudy? Or the fake police protecting Romney? Any more candidate affairs? Politics and elections ARE important!

Who Do You Trust with YOUR Money?
Trusting a candidate, or thinking you can trust a particular candidate, is important.
We all seek to find that candidate we can trust to support our values, encourage and lead our country and watch over our personal and national financial well being. If that is true, then perhaps those candidates deemed most trustworthy are those in whom people have invested time and money — and that translates to the trivial purchases of campaign hats, bumper stickers and pins.
People who trust a candidate may be interested in purchasing campaign items like t-shirts, bumper stickers, hats and pins to show their support. Right? If you think Mr. ABC or Ms. ABC would make a great president, why not show it by wearing a t-shirt or carrying a bag promoting their candidacy? Perhaps you can convince others to consider that candidate!
There are many visitors to www.CANDIDATE STUFF.COM each day and they can browse products for 10 of the top candidates—5 democrats and 5 republicans. Can the candidates with the most the loyal followers be the ones whose products sell best?
The top sales items support candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. People who purchase items promoting those two candidates usually buy more than one product. They may opt for three identical hats or a combination tote bag, hat and t-shirt, for example. As far as purchases go, the democrats significantly lead the republicans. Republican supporters, the few that have made product purchases, favor bumper stickers. They purchase one item.
Does this mean people trust democrats more than republicans? Does it mean we should expect higher costs? All I can say is there is much interest in Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

Following the Candidates in early June
We adjusted our method of monitoring presidential candidates and the interest they generate. Once word is out that candidates are being compared, some of their followers go to any extreme to make their leader look best! One way they do that is to continually click on ads for a particular candidate. This distorts the real interest in the candidate and the poor advertisers may find themselves a bit poorer it they are paying "per click."
With our new monitoring tools, the first 5 days of June shows no surprises. Most interest centers on Obama, Hillary, Rudy and Al Gore. Interest in Al Gore is growing now that we know it is a "maybe" that he will run.
Without Rudy Giuliani interest in the Republican candidates is weak. Or perhaps no one dares to wear a hat, shirt or be seen with a Republican bumper sticker this time around even though they may support a Republican candidate.
We noticed searches for "anti-GOP" and "anti-Bush" in this data. This is new.
Fred Thompson is now in our candidate ring since being profiled in the news this past week or two. So far no one has searched our www.CandidateStuff.com for him. If you have a favorite candidate, check out the thousands of items we promote for Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, Mitt Romney, Barack Obama, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, Chuck Hagel, John Edwards, Bill Richardson and Fred Thompson. If there is another person you want to see in the lineup, please let me know.
