Report: Company printing Obama-Bayh stickers

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

After 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. The Obama campaign had said it would make the announcement by text message on Friday.

Gill Studios, would not confirm information about the material. They would not deny it either. The company president would not comment when asked by Mahoney about the reports. But at least three sources close to the plant's operations reported the Obama-Bayh material was being produced.

1. Obama's campaign doesn't care much about bumper stickers.

I remember this from the primary. They didn't think they were that important.

5. If it's like sports tournaments,

there will be a bunch of versions with different people being made so they can be the first to have them available for sale.

6. The bumper sticker doesn't look like official campaign literature.

Not buying it yet.

7. If there is a leak, it would most likely be from a supplier like that.

But I've heard that Obama's campaign uses a different printer for all their official stuff - don't remember the name, though. Tiger? Something like that.

10. Tiger...

...Electronics?

I know they make Furbies.

This is a running mate if I ever saw one!

13. Everyone would LOVE that running mate - who could resist? nt

9. Those things are ugly, and they don't match the theme of O's current material.

Plenty of companies print up unauthorized political memorabilia. Go to DC and it's easy to find. Not convincing.
