]]> ObamaLast week, the traffic from an estimated 35,000 supporters tied up local access roads for up to 45 minutes to attend a rally for Democratic presidential nominee Senator Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama at Ida Lee Park in suburban Leesburg, Virginia. 

On Monday, Alaska Governor and Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin will be visiting Leesburg in suburban Washington, DC for a rally of her own. 

Sarah Palin

It seems with Virginia as a highly contested battleground state, the candidates just can’t seem to visit often enough. I suspect with just a week left until the election, we may see Joe Biden and John McCane making additional stops in Virginia.

]]> Hillary - Three for $10

I’m not sure if the price of Hillary Clinton tee-shirts will go up in price as collectors scoop up memorabilia related to the first woman to have a viable chance at winning the White House, or plummet in price as she fades back into her role as a New York Senator. 

Or, is a Obama/Hillary tee the next new fashion statement for the Fall election season?

But this site, of a Washington, DC street vendor’s tee-shirt offerings,  may not be something you see again, (at least for another 4 years).

But I suspect these Hillary tees will quickly end up in the 5 for $10 bin, on top of the John Edwards and Mitt Romney tees.
