Report: Online Seller Says Pro-Obama Gear Sales Down, Anti-Obama Gear Surging (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/report-online-seller-says-pro-obama-gear-sales-down-anti-obama-gear-surging/)
Remember back in 2008 when you could barely look around without seeing something that said “Hope” or “Change” or looked kinda’ like the Pepsi logo?
Well, we‘ve come a long way from ’08 and it looks like syrupy, sentimental Obama gear isn’t very popular anymore. But more than just a decline in pro-Obama merchandise, there’s been a spike in anti-Obama gear.
“During the first six months of 2008, 86 percent of Obama-related sales at CafePress [an online merchandise store] were pro-Obama — just 14 percent were anti-Obama,” writes The Daily Caller’s Caroline May.
“Over the first six months of 2012, 45 percent of Obama merchandise sales have been pro-Obama, 55 percent have been anti-Obama,” she adds.
And even more telling: pro-Mitt Romney gear has been selling far better than the Obama friendly material.
“Over the same 2012 time frame, 95 percent of Romney gear purchases have been pro-Romney — just 5 percent have been anti-Romney,” May reports.
