In a bid to appeal to religious voters before McCain snaps them up, the Obama campaign is about to launch a new line of “faith merchandise.”
No joke!
The line includes buttons, bumper stickers, and signs with such rallying slogans as “Believers for Barack,” “Pro-Family Pro-Obama,” and “Catholics for Obama.”
The merchandise is intended to be inclusive of all backgrounds of faith, with more specifically-targeted items to be coming soon, such as “Clergy for Change” and “Pro-Israel Pro-Obama.”
In the meantime, Obama Deputy Director of Religious Affairs Paul Monteiro said he wanted to get the broader products out “wthout delay.” And with good reason too!
The Catholic vote has traditionally selected the winning presidential campaign every race since 1976, with the exception of Al Gore’s 2000 White House bid, so both campaigns have been vying aggressively for it.
What do you think of Barack’s attempt to lure the faith vote????
