where does it say clearance, and how do you know they can barely give them away.


troll post.

I don't see a clearance logo anywhere.

Also, 2 for $5 is a common price for buttons.

$2.50/button is clearance? That seems $2.25 more than I'd pay for any flair.

I thought they gave buttons like that away

No they are sold mostly by independent vendors who hawk their wares around campaign events. Even the official ones are sold at local campaign headquarters.

By the way, the 2 for $5.00 was the same price that that they were sold for in 2008.

I got one for free from a friend of mine even though I told her I don't wear political buttons or endorse candidates publically (I think it is tacky).

She had a ton of them but I doubt she bought them since she works for the campaign.

I'm expect this could be a down year for buttons and bumper stickers. Likely there will be muted enthusiasm from the base of both R's and D's, especially if Romney goes with Portman or Pawlenty as VP.

I think I'll just wear my "Nixon - Now More Than Ever" button (from 1972). Somehow, it seems appropriate for this election.
