I am really not sure why the Obama campaign still seems to have representatives in Bay Area. Even before the DNC the number of "Hope" and "O" signs far out numbered any other nominee hopeful's; now Obama imagery is practically omni-present.
When General Lafayette returned to the US for a visit in 1824, he was confronted with his name or image not only on banners, but on vases, plates, sashes, and on even women's gloves. While gloves are out of style and t-shirts and hats are expected, I have seen an Obama belt buckle and lots of DIY Obama-themed bracelets. I am half-expecting to see someone sporting an Obama-grill one of these days.
All and all, this is far preferable to my world being filled with McCain shwag... but still.
