Herman Cain Winning the Tchotchkes War

"Rock You Like a Herman Cain"
Republican Presidential candidate Herman Cain may be outdoing his GOP rivals in current polls, but he's achieved another dubious distinction.

He is besting not only all the Republican hopefuls but President Obama as well when it comes to sales of thongs, mugs and ballcaps emblazoned with his name on the do-it-yourself crap website, CafePress.

With 58% of political sales, Cain is outselling his nearest rival, Texas Congressman Ron Paul, more than two-to-one; Paul is capturing 27%. The remainder of his fellow Rs are in low single digits with some such as former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum selling nothing.

Since his arrival on the scene in 2008, President Obama has dominated CafePress sales, however, Chris Harlhar, a marketing consultant in New York, reports that in October Cain overtook the President who had been hovering around 33% of sales.

If umbrellas, golf towels and baby doll tees are any indication of the voters' mood, Cain could find himself in the White House.
