1. I have a Bernie Bear....

I"d post his photo if I wasn't on my phone...

2. From Vermont Bear? I might get

one of them too.

3. They are a little pricey, but I was given one as a gift.

I passed the entrance to the actual bear company when I was driving through Burlington in September, thought about stopping, but there's a lot of traffic there and I was running late as it was. But I think they give tours.

I have a catalog and was disappointed to learn that they have bears for all the candidates, thought they favored Bernie since they're made in Vermont. But I have to say that the Bernie Bear is definitely the cutest, and the most unique.

4. Yeah I thought it was pricey too -

that's why I haven't bought one yet. I assumed they were supporters...bummer. But I'll look at the catalog for the rest out of curiosity.

5. That was my initial impression, too.

But apparently it's a very commercial enterprise. I've seen their Valentine commercials on TV and found them kind of creepy. But I still do appreciate my Bernie Bear. He really is adorable. They did a good job.
