My feeling is that you know a candidate is something special when he (or she as the case may be) is inspiring art. And I don't mean the bad "French Poodles for Obama" buttons on etsy.
Although come to think of it, if there was one for bulldogs I'd probably get it.
When I stumbled across the Ann Arbor-based shop Stories and Divinations I was absolutely awed by the artist's gorgeous narrative Obama collage bracelet for $135 - plus if you tell her a story you can save 20%. How's that for the true soul of an artist?
Her entire political section is a civil libertarian's happy place.
So, have you picked out any Obama goodies to buy yet?

That's an awesome bracelet! I also love the posters Obama has inspired. And the cheesy tribute videos. :)
I celebrated his clinching of the nomination with the purchase of an "Obama Mama" t-shirt. Can't wait til it arrives!

Check our your local flea markets peeps. I went to two of Chicago's largest in the last month and it's Obama-mania there. Nothing as cute as the bracelet, but if a tee or hat is what you're after. :)
