All the Obama Halloween maskes were sold out at Walmart; plenty of McCains though.
Is that a good sign?
 
What a wasted opportunity, a trip to Wal*Mart and no bouncy tale to tell. :(

3. Important indicator: most masks sold wins the GE popluar vote
 Since they been counting whomever sells the most Halloween masks wins the popular vote. This was even true in 2000 when more Gore masks sold than Bush and Gore won the popular vote but Bush stole FLA EVs.

If only TruthisAll had factored that fact into his stolen election spreadsheet Kerry would now be President.

Facts: you're doing it wrong.

As of Sept. 30, President Bush masks were outselling Sen. John Kerry masks, 55 percent to 45 percent. One week later, on Oct. 7, Bush’s lead fell to 54 percent. The Monday after the second presidential debate, Bush’s lead slipped even further to 53 percent.

Buycostumes.com also collected data from mask manufacturers and national stores as far back as 1980 and posted these results online. According to sales figures tabulated online, Bush masks outsold Gore masks in 2000 by 14 percent despite the fact that Gore won the popular vote. Prior to that, the candidate who won the election sold the most masks for Halloween. In 1992, Clinton squeaked by Bush and then toppled Dole in 1996. Sales of Ronald Reagan masks soared in 1980 and 1984, beating out Carter and Mondale masks by 20 percent and 28 percent respectively.

There's a reason for that.  Those big ears of his enable the wearer to hang two bags filled with candy on them.

Why is a DUmmie going to the evil, capitalistic, soul-crushing big box store in the first place?

I don't think this really happened.

Or the DUmmie is calling his local, piddly, granola-selling, soon-to-go-out-of-business-because-of-Whole-Foods  co-op "Walmart" to make it seem like a big deal.  Of course the local co-op is out of Obama masks, they were organic and got eaten by the rats over night.

So...even if people want to buy an Obama mask, it isn't available, and they can only buy a McCain mask? And the guy with the most mask sales wins the election? 

Hey, wait a minute.........Rove! You magnificent bastard!   (The guy thinks of EVERYTHING!)

What I don't understand is that the primitives "celebrated" when George Bush masks outsold the Bostonian Billionaire masks for Halloween 2004.....predicting it meant the Bostonian Billionaire was going to win, because more people were making fun of the incumbent president.

It looks to me as if the primitives did a 180 here.

And besides, doesn't it occur to the primitives that Barry "Six States" Obama makes for a funnier mask than John McCain, what with those big floppy ears?

Actually............. I plan too. Along with a turban and some sort of Commie shirt. Trust me.. it'll be funny!

My wife works at a Halloween store managing the place. I can get me an Obama mask for half off. Besides, they also got McCain masks, Bush masks, Bill & Hillary masks, and of course, the Nixon masks.
