'Barns for Obama' -- Can 'Museums for McCain' be far behind?

Okay, we have to admit, we got a chuckle out of this, and with one extra cup of coffee this morning the imagination got racing about other marketing possibilities.

Barack Obama's campaign is starting a new rural push, inviting farmers to join "Barns for Obama." No, barns don't vote. But they do offer massive billboards, and a lot of them are conveniently located within eyeshot of the nation's freeway system. Not a bad ploy. Here's a time-lapse video the campaign put out showing the conversion of a barn into a billboard.

So what else could serve as a marketing gimmick for the candidates? "Museums for McCain?" "Bars for Barr?" "Niches for Nader?" Or even special groups -- "Bards for Obama: Kicking it with the Iambic Foot?" "Maitre d's for McCain: Room for Everyone at the Table?'" "Barbers for Barr: We Believe in Trimming?"

The coffee's wearing off. Add your own marketing ideas in the comments section.

the RON PAUL rEVOLution resorted to this kind of advertising many months ago as the legitimate candidates were kept from getting their message out by the constant media censorship and propaganda.

RON PAUL couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with his rOVERlution and proved it.

Barns for Obama - I love it, and will be interested to see response. Just can't think of anything cute for the other candidates. Must need more coffee.
