DOAKS

Ever since the launch of this site, people have been asking me about the prospect of other political Kippahs. Some examples: the JFK kippah (what’s the point? I already have an Obamica!) the Richard Nixon Kippah (what’s the point? I already have the McCain Kippah. Kidding!) the Ron Paul Kippah, the George McGovern Kippah, the Gary Condit Yarmulke….

You get the idea. Everyone is suddenly a Kippah composer. Myself included.

So, naturally, when the John Edwards story FINALLY made its way the hallowed news rooms of main stream press, my site was getting inundated by inquiries for the John Edwards Kippah. FYI, inundated means that three people in Shul suggested the “concept” to me, on condition they’d get a 85% cut of whatever I’d make. (I had to bargain down from 93.5%!)

An Edwards Yarmulke is not a good idea. For many ethical reasons, the main one being: it would not sell. Also, I am not a big fan of negative paraphernalia. Read The Secret. Positive energy is where it’s at folks. If only the McCain and Obama campaign managers would read and hearken to the message of the book.

Still, my mind wanders. And the imagination runs amok. Here’s the prototype of the John Edwards Kippah:

Another week. Another poll result. Last week, we introduced the Kippak Poll. This week, we have the second installment.

To date, the McCain Kippah, the McCippah is outselling the Obamica, the Barack Obama Kippah, 52% to 48%.

Does this mean anything? I have no idea. A few possible explanations for the McCippah lead can be found here.

What do you think? Does this shed any light on the Jewish vote?

Next week, I will break things down by male and female orders. Maybe even throw in some data on conversion rates and page views.

Good afternoon. The sun is beginning to break through the penetrable clouds of the Seattle skyline. Hence, I will keep this post brief, though my personal preference is boxers. Kidding.

Ever since this site launched, I’ve been constantly asked the same question: Which Kippah is selling more; the McCippah or the Obamica?

The Jewish population in the US is rather small at about 2.5%. Perhaps less. Still, lots of Jewish folk reside in Florida, including my nephew. And Florida is an important state. With the notorious history of the knocked-up chad. There’s also a nice amount of Jewish voters in other states with sizable electoral votes: California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Massachusets.

Jon Stewart is also Jewish. I’m just saying.

So, there are the Zogby polls and the Rasmussen polls. Today, I introduce the Kippah Polls.

The site has been live for a week. To date, the McCain Kippah leads the Obama Kippah; 56% to 44% in total sales.

As time progresses, I will be able to break down these figures by State and by male/female purchases.
