Palin-Mania Sweeping Nation

I didn't think this was important enough to put into breaking news, but It does have value as it illustrates how the BarackStar! is sinking into the land of yesterday's news.     Michelle must be so proud.

(CBS) There's a new economic boom in Alaska -- and it has nothing to do with oil.

Call it "Palin-mania."

Companies are cashing in on a new craze sweeping the country sparked by the sudden fame of John McCain's running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, reports CBS News correspondent John Blackstone.

The new cottage industry involves anything carrying her name.

Palin is, of course, no longer "Sarah Who?" and, a week after her stunning naming to the Republican ticket, Palin items have become hot properties.

From t-shirts to thong underwear, from the flattering to the not-so-flattering, sales of just about everything related to the McCain-Palin ticket have been flying off shelves, at the just-concluded GOP convention in St. Paul, Minn., on the Internet, and other settings, Blackstone says.

Yup.... Hurricane Sarah has completely taken over the once Obama-swept MSM and people are taking notice. Sorry, but this was still a damn good pick for McCain and Obama is screwed because of it.
