For a few years now, we’ve been offering bumper stickers and buttons with various combinations of Democratic Presidents and Vice Presidents making up potential tickets for 2008. Since the night of the Indiana and North Carolina primaries, we’ve sold only items that feature Barack Obama at the top of the ticket. That aspect of the race seems pretty much settled. But who will be Barack Obama’s pick for vice president? Some people care enough about that question to buy a bumper sticker or button to advocate for their ticket of choice.
Here’s the distribution of running-mate bumper stickers and buttons we’ve sold, from the night of the Indiana and North Carolina primaries onward:
Obama-Richardson: 23.1%
Obama-Clinton: 13.5%
Obama-Edwards: 7.7%
Obama-Sebelius: 5.8%
Obama-Feingold: 3.7%
Obama-Gore: 1.9%
Obama-Moyers: 1.8%
You may notice the above group of percentages doesn’t sum to 100. That’s because I’ve left out our #1 most popular team for 2008:
Obama-Olbermann: 42.5%
That’s right: MSNBC political commentator Keith Olbermann is a more popular pick than any of the other more conventional politicians.
