Cuddle the ‘08 Candidates - Cabbage Patch Style
Limited edition Star Wars action figures. The Princess Diana beanie baby. Every so often, there comes along a must-have toy that’s made for those who remain kids at heart. But they’re not called toys - they’re called collector’s items, and that makes obsession okay. For those who love the idea of the ungettable, Christmas just came early. Believe it or not, the minds behind Cabbage Patch Kids actually found a way to make John McCain look cuddly.
Four new dolls have recently been unveiled by the famous toy line, one-of-a-kind creations that some collectors would stoop to almost any means just to own. Your favorite candidate may not win the upcoming election…but they could score a spot in your curio cabinet.
That’s right: there’s a Sarah Palin Cabbage Patch Kid doll. She’s wearing a red power suit, fashionable glasses and a big smile. Her arms seem spread open, almost as if to offer a hug. It’s every bit as adorable as buyers might want it to be.

But the fun doesn’t stop there. Joe Biden, John McCain and Barack Obama have also been turned into one-a-kind-only dolls. Each of the four sports a friendly expression and small American flag pin on their left-side lapel. The dolls will be auctioned off on eBay.
“These four folks in particular seemed like the perfect candidates, if you will, to become one-of-a-kind Cabbage Patch Kids.” The statement was offered by Genna Rosenberg, spokesperson for Jakks Pacific. Celebs likes Donald Trump, Ellen DeGeneres, Elvis and Oprah have been turned into dolls in the past.
The auction begins later this week and will end November 4th, with proceeds going to benefit Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. Six additional dolls, limited-edition items created for the 25th anniversary of Cabbage Patch Kids, will also be auctioned away.

I'm with you in that you should vote for who or what you believe in. I also think the PEOPLE NEED TO REGISTER so that they can VOTE! Voter registration or Absentee ballads can be picked up at your county offices. Most colleges have voter registration cards available to students. :-)

Thanks Andru. Gotta tell ya I'm really on the fence with this election. Kinda wish Ron Paul was still in the running. Anyway, everyone that can, go vote in this election. Otherwise don't complain later as you had your chance to express yourself at the polling booth. (i.e. One vote, endless right to complain afterwords. No vote, quit yer whining)

Hey, I may still vote for Ron Paul as a write in. Seriously considering it. I believe in voting for who you think would do the best job, as opposed to the lesser of two evils.
