If Sales Of Halloween Masks Could Predict The Election
Obama Would be President!



Everyone has their favorite way to predict who will win the Presidential election. Amazon likes to keep track of Halloween mask sales. Supporters of either candidate can buy rubber masks of each to wear for Halloween. So far, 57 percent of the masks Amazon has sold have been Obama masks, versus 43 percent for McCain masks.

4. Of course, if the McCain mask was more realistic
it would be the big seller because it would be so "scary". Look how popular Reagan and Nixon masks were.

11. Funny enough, we're getting a McCain mask because here is my hubby's costume


Add the McCain mask and instant accurate portrayal!

6. Some companies are missing a great opportunity
to make some big bucks! That and a McBush mask would probably do very well.

8. No, no... TOO dangerous to the wearer.
If a creature like that came to my door I would instinctively start beating it to death with a candy apple.

:evilgrin:

7. Yeah, except THAT mask
isn't very realistic. A more accurate likeness could be really scary.

9. The McCain one needs some work.
Maybe melt it over an open flame, douse it with battery acid and then bleach it to get the authentic McHalfDeadAlready look.

10. No joke
Sincerely, McCain has become a really, really scary looking guy! Add that creepy laugh and nasty smile, and he's like something out of a forties horror film.
