Hats, buttons, bumper stickers!

You asked for more items to support your presidential candidates. We did our homework! check out www.candidatestuff.com for bumper stickers, magnets, hats, bags, buttons and more. Start by looking at candidates who have "hats in the ring." Find your candidate, a great design and see the shirts and other merchandise using the same design.

This is a fun way to support your candidate and tell the world about him or her. There is no order to the nine hats we currently display. You'll find: Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, Mitt Romney, Barack Obama, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, Chuck Hagel and John Edwards.

Does anyone want Al Sharpton, Fred Thompson, Dennis Kucinich?? Bill Richardson to be added next!

We'll report back on the most popular designs and candidate trends.

Ten Days Evaluation

The presidential candidates of the moment are sifting themselves into top tier and lower tier. Looking at my ten days of data and non-scientific survey it seems like Obama and Hillary are each generating far more interest than all the other candidates taken together. On the Republican side John McCain leads the pack but the interest shown in him is only about 5% of that shown either Democratic leader.

Amazingly, over 10 days the click-thru rate (ratio of those who see my ads to the actual clicks on the ads) is an identical percentage for both Hillary and Obama! In this ten day period he has about 50% more ad views than her. But looking at the data from Feb 15-20, she has twice as many clicks as Obama. In ten days more than half a million people have searched for info on these two candidates according to my data.

During the 3-day weekend six times more people searched for Hillary-related information online than searched for Obama. This does not seem to square with the official pundits who claim people do not want to know more about Hillary!

It is exciting to see so much early interest in the coming presidential elections! Hopefully we will get to see these candidates, scrutinize them and ultimately pick the best one. Promote your candidate with a hat!

Hunting for Hats, the Process

I hunted through hundreds of hats for seven different candidates. The available designs for each candidate were quite telling. There were many hats for Obama and Hillary and I had to limit my choices.

In the caps catagorized as promoting Hillary for president there were many hats with negative comments. These were created by people and deliberately mislabeled so someone searching to promote Hillary would come across these less-than-nice choices. I removed all of those from my selection.

About half the hats for Bill Richardson were for his 2006 run for Governor, not the 2008 presidential election. A large percent of the hats for Rudy said "I Love Rudy" or "Rudy Loves Me." The other candidates had one or two such hats, but not Rudy! He won the contest for most hats with a heart on them.

Mitt Romney's hats had many negative slogans. I removed all that I noticed. John McCain and John Edwards didn't seem to generate much interest in those people who create the graphics for hats. I couldn't find enough caps for Edwards to create a web page and McCain's selections are slim.

Several cap designs for Al Gore mentioned "re-elect" Al Gore! And to keep things "light" I included a page of Dick Cheney hats which carry messages right from the news. See the hat categories.
