Yesterday my post<\/a> featured an "Atticus Finch President 2008" t-shirt, which happens to be just one of the many items currently available for the presidential (or other) campaigns of authors and book characters. You could also pledge your support for, say, Mark Twain<\/a> (who was dead the last time I checked) or two of his characters, Huck Funn and Tom Sawyer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Or you could throw your support behind… Nellie Olsen<\/a>?? Of the Little House on the Prairie<\/em> television series<\/a>?? (I love that there’s a tribute site<\/a> to Alison Arngrin, who portrayed Nellie<\/a>, that refers to her as a "Prairie Bitch.")<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Hitchiker fans might be happy to see this button (from Media Tees<\/a> on Café Press).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And Star Wars fans have an entire Zazzle shop<\/a> at their disposal, featuring campaign buttons and shirts for all their favorite characters, with images like these:<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

You knew Harry would have to get someone<\/a>‘s vote:<\/p>\n

\"\"
But are you surprised about Steinbeck<\/a>?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I love the slogan for Holmes and Watson<\/a>‘s campaign:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Gee, do you suppose the media can dig up any dirt on these two<\/a>?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you’re wishing Bill Clinton could return to take the reins but not sure you want to advertise, try flying under the radar with this t-shirt<\/a> supporting Jack Stanton, the fictional character thought to have been based on Bill Clinton in Joe Klein’s novel Primary Colors<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And then there are these bumper stickers from SimplyBitten’s shop on Etsy<\/a>. Don’t tell me if Bella wins this campaign, because I haven’t started Breaking Dawn<\/em> yet. Or Eclipse<\/em>, for that matter. Clearly I’ve got some catching up to do!<\/p>\n
