Press Coverage 2008

Watch us on Fox TV along with other wacky campaign collectibles.

July 24 Here we are in Steve Bass' blog: Time Wasters.

Feeling your political oats and want to prove it? Wear an Election Watch. No, I'm not joking. One watch has McCain with a tight-lipped sorta smile; the other has the grinning face of Obama. Looking carefully, you'll see neither has a flag lapel pin and each is on a background appropriate to his party. They're both waving their right hands in a oh-I'm-glad-to-see-you way; the other hand is out of sight, but I'm guessing at least two of the fingers are crossed. The watches are self-winding (you can do an occasional wave, too) and sure to impress your like-minded friends. (Me, I got one just to aggravate my politically conservative brother-in-law and nephew.)

July 9: The DailyKos gives us a cheer:

CHEERS to an extra pair of hands. It's here It's here It's here! Four years ago I found a web site called electionwatches.com, which sold old-fashioned (i.e. manual-wind) watches featuring the presidential candidates waving. Even though I wore my Kerry watch proudly and told everyone about it, the Bush watch outsold his. But this year the waving Obama model is kicking the other guy's ass (we suspect because the McCain watch only goes backwards). But the real reason I'm excited about getting mine this year is because I had to retire my Kerry watch after only a few months. Obama's should last me a good eight years. That's value!

July 9: Down the Avenue: Diva of all Things Tech, Renee Blodgett shows off the watches

Waving Obama and McCain
Unveiled during the 2004 elections, these fun Election Watches are back for the Fall, offering Obama, Hillary and McCain friendly waves as a third hand.
Each time you buy a watch your vote gets counted on the ElectionWatch poll.
Interesting - can watch sales accurately predict the next President?
So whether you're for Obama or McCain, you can get one of these wind up watches from $25 - $40 depending on the style you choose.
They also have widgets and a blog, so check them out. Even if you find this as tacky as Orlando's Kississimee strip, you'll get a laugh and perhaps think of someone who might get a kick out of this as a gift.
