Artifact Overview

The online sale of presidential campaign items has become routine. A candidate's website will have typical branded items such as buttons, bumper stickers or yard signs for supporters to buy--but smart campaign marketers also offer materials that reflect a lifestyle bond between voters and their candidate. In 2012, Democrats who supported dog-owning President Obama could order this sweater for their canine.
