CafePress Predicts Presidential Winners
From pollsters to politicians to pundits, it seems everyone has an idea of how to predict the 2012 GOP nominee these days. Here one more to add to the list: T shirt salespeople.

To determine these front runners, CafePress took top two polling candidates in each state and compared their swag sales. The one with the most gear sold got the predicted title.
As Mashable reported Monday, CafePress has a section of the site dedicated to the 2012 election, where in addition to shopping for candidate swag, peruse a series of infographics,

The first graph shows weekly T shirt sales, color coded with Obama in blue and the GOP candidates in various shades of red orange. The president was on top last week, with 53 percent of the sales; Paul came in second, with 35 percent; Romney, third, with percent; Santorum and Gingrich in with 4 percent and 2 percent, respectively.
Compare that with , when Ron Paul came in first with 43 percent, followed by Herman Cain at 25 percent. Obama had percent, while Romney and Gingrich tied for fourth place with percent. Rick Perry had followed closely by Bachmann with 2 percent. Johnson and Huntsman were also listed on that week graph, but they had zero percent of the T shirt sales.

The tool offers a visual for those trying to get a handle on what voters might be thinking. Each candidate has his or her own page on the CafePress site, complete with a caricature, and hundreds of options for political memorabilia (except in the case of fictional candidate Marvin Quasniki who has only 41 options for his More Bullshit campaign).
It important to note, however, that this is one way for voters to show support without actually influencing the campaigns. None of the cash for this clothing ever makes it back to the candidates.
And for those Boehnerists, who are waiting to put their body behind a candidate, CafePress also offers a selection of buttons and apparel depicting issues and parties rather than faces.
