A survey of most popular items for each candidate on cafepress: Fred supporters buy "A fist in every terrorists face" bumper stickers, while Huck's fans get round buttons from 1952 "I Like Mike." Ron Paul's supporters like fitted tees, and Obama boosters buy big hearts for their chests. Hillary's supporters are putting flags on their refrigerators, and Edwards supporters, like Romney's, show their colors on the highway.

I tend to be more interested in "how the web is using them" than "how the candidates are using the web" in this site's mission. So of course I'm fascinated by the John Edwards Is Good 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.

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.
