McCain VS Obama

July 14, 2008 | By JH In Interesting Auctions |

Just thought you might be interested in a fun little index that compares the sales of McCain- and Obama-related products on eBay!

http://www.terapeak.com/election/

Here’s a little widget that keeps track of this presidency race. You can embed this into your own blog if you like. The data is updated in real-time.

This widget is created by Terrapeak, another popular online eBay research tool.

Here’s the best part of this - since you are helping to drive some curiosity and traffics to eBay, you can also embed your eBay affiliate ID in the widget.

See that little ‘i’ on the top right hand corner of the widget? Click that to get the codes to be pasted on your site.

If someone goes to eBay and buys something through your link you get a commission. Have you sign up with eBay Partner Network yet?

I just spoke to Terrapeak, and the eBay links were taken out at the last moment due to some problems. The links only exists in the larger index now.

Looks like Obama is leading well ahead of McCain in the number of items sold on eBay.

Interesting idea! Is the race really all that one sided? 82% versus 18%?

From all accounts so far, McCain seems to inspire only neolibs and the senior citizens. Unless something major happens between now and November, it looks a shoo in for Obama!
