Everything must go! Act now and you can be the proud owner of an official McCain-Palin Team Colorado fleece! Or how about a limited edition Obama-Biden car magnet?

With just over two weeks to go before the election, the Obama and McCain camps will do anything to solicit donations or rally volunteer support, including giving out all sorts of swag.
On Friday, representatives from both the McCain and Obama campaigns sent out e-mails to supporters giving them the chance to show their support in style.
Colorado Victory 2008 sent out an e-mail blast to Republican supporters titled, “Free McCain-Palin Gear Available This Saturday.” If in the next 14 days, you show up to volunteer at one of McCain’s campaign offices across the state, you might be lucky enough to walk away with “priority tickets” to a McCain-Palin event. In case the tickets or the fleece don't tickle your fancy, don’t worry. The campaign will also be giving away—hold your breath—bumper stickers and yard signs!
But if you're a Democrat and want Obama gear, you better move lot quicker because apparently supplies are running low. An e-mail blast sent out Friday morning by Obama Campaign Manager David Plouffe was titled, “Last chance: Limited edition car magnet.”
The magnet’s going to cost you though. And not just volunteer hours, they want cold, hard cash. You’ll have to pony up at least $10 to get your hands on one. If you’re prepared to spend the big bucks, you can get an Obama-Biden t-shirt for $30 or more.
