So of course I'm fascinated by the <a href="http://www.johnedwardsisgood.com">John Edwards Is Good</a> website. I like the ambiguity of this slogan. Does it mean Edwards is good... looking, for America, at billiards? It could be any of the above.</p> <p>When I saw first these 80's-inspired t-shirts popping up during the 2004 campaign, I took them for nothing more than a smarmy remark on Edwards' looks from some overly-clever college students. However, it seems that this meme has blossomed into a full-on campaign. While the goal was previously to market the shirt and take pictures of people wearing it in funny places, now the site seems to be semi-seriously promoting the election of John Edwards.</p> <p><a href="http://www.techpresident.com/blog/entry/83/my_candidate_is_good">read more</a></p> http://www.techpresident.com/blog/entry/83/my_candidate_is_good#comment Barack Obama Facebook funny grassroots John Edwards t-shirts Fri, 23 Feb 2007 09:47:36 -0500 Ruby Sinreich 83 at http://www.techpresident.com
