2008 Do We Have a Winner?
posted by August 22 at 16:28 PM
onAfter weeks of speculation and days of intense rumors, the answer to who Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama would name as his running mate may have come down to a bumper sticker printed in Lenexa.KMBC’s Micheal Mahoney reported that the company, which specializes in political literature, has been printing Obama-Bayh material. That’s Bayh as in U.S. Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana. Word leaked out about the material as it was being printed up by Gill Studios of Lenexa….
Gill Studios would not confirm information about the material. They would not deny it either.

Um... what's your source?
Sounds like a tropical destination.
IT'S ME!!!! I'M THE HOT TIPPER!!
I'M A WINNER!!!
no, NBC debunked. It's not a hoax, it's speculators trying to be ahead of the jump for Denver.
And its too ugly to be real
Terrible design! Can't be real. Everything from the lettering spacing to lack of Obama logog raise suspicions.
Arg. Says five thirty eight:
Oh man, I hope that's true.
zzzzz
The pronunciation of "Bayh" always trips me up. So for that reason, I'd rather it wasn't him.
Bayh? Two "foreign" sounding last names? Game over for the Democrats, sorry but game over.
From the AP story:
"Officials said the Obama campaign had taken the trouble to print material bearing the names of several potential ticketmates — thereby minimizing the significance of a report that a printing company in Kansas was churning out signs bearing Bayh's name."
Seems unlikely. All they have to do is print up a few to get on the news. Also, as others have mentioned, it's not even close to the current Obama designs. No "O" with graphical elements, wrong font (especially bad on the '08), wrong colors, missing the web site address, O in Obama should be larger than the other letters, etc.
To compare, here's one of the current Obama-only bumper stickers.
@5 & @6: Correct. It's not the font, logo, or design that the Obama campaign would use. This one of the red herrings we're all chasing.
