It would be easier to find Waldo in a sea of clones than a McCain/Palin t-Shirt on the back of a fashion-forward celebrity (trust us, we looked -- and the options were slim to none!). Of course, there was Elizabeth Hasselbeck in her bright red "AmeriCaine" tee and the vocally-Republican Hollywood lovebirds Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt -- who were spotted in McCain/Palin shirts.

We've always been intrigued by Hidalgo stackable rings, even if they are a trifle ornate to wear with our daily blogging attire of sweats and bunny slippers. But their latest design might be the final blow to our stubborn resistance: Obama and McCain name rings.

Many people watching the debate last night were surprised to see John McCain jerk at thumb at Obama and refer to his democratic rival as "That One". Post-debate the analysts are still trying to figure out if McCain meant it as a pejorative, if he forgot Obama's name and awkwardly tried to cover a senior moment, or if it was simply another of the (many) wince-worthy jokes that McCain scattered through his performance.

Now we know where we saw Sarah Palin's debate hair-do before: The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills!

If Gene Simmons of KISS knows anything, aside from being a rock god, it's how to make a profit. The guy will put his likeness, or Paul Stanley's apparently, onto anything. That's not a criticism, he's rich and we're sitting here typing our fingers to the bone. We'd like to put our likeness on some stuff, too. Rich looks good.

Speaking of looking good, check out these t-shirts (that, dear reader, is a segue). KISS has taken the popular images of presidential hopefuls John McCain and Barack Obama and given them a bit of a makeover. Or makeup as the case may be.

Political t-shirts? So over. Your candidate on underwear? Yes-ter-day! The newest cool way to show your support is to emblazon your candidate across a pair of Keds.

Through the magic of digital print on demand, Zazzle.com lets you put pretty much any picture on any item and sell it through their online marketplace.

Taking advantage of this technology, dozens of enthusiastic Obama supporters have customized Keds with their artistic interpretation of his likeness.

Mr. McCain also has a selection of shoes that bear his likeness, although we must admit that his supporters are both more traditional and more conservative.

We love a comfy skimmer as much as the next girl, but we're not sure how well this political statement translates into a fashion statement. At least they're easier to change than a bumper sticker.

In the gallery, see what the "shoe designers" came up with for your candidate.

The New York Post, (which is not exactly the newspaper of record, but still, they do tend to get the juicier scoops) reports that presidential candidate John McCain has spent $5,583.43 to pay a make up artist to get him ready for his appearances.

Hey, we understand. We've always wanted to have a personal hair and make up attendant, and you know what? $6k doesn't sound like that much money considering how hard the poor girl has to work. Look at him! He's old! HD is harsh!

We're sure that Cindy "$280k earrings" McCain, paid for the cosmetic services, so it's not like it came out of his government salary. Plus, you could think of it as one more way he's stimulating the economy, by throwing a little cash at the style-worker class. So, thanks John!

In the wake of what many are calling a snooze of a NY fashion week, it seems that many designers have seized upon London Fashion Week as an opportunity to branch out, try something outrageous, or even try to drum up support for their favorite candidate. Though London seems like an unlikely place to appeal to American voters, that didn't stop Nicole Farhi from replacing the traditional brooch with a "Obama '08" campaign pin.

While the French designer is not a registered voter in the US, she's managed to work her way into what has to be the most intensely fashion-oriented campaign in decades. It seems like a candidate's fashion choices have become an important dimension for many sartorially-inclined voters. Obama is good-looking, McCain wears expensive shoes, Biden is a snazzy dresser, Palin is bringing back the sexy librarian look -- that stuff's important, right?

We're pretty sure that we've never seen this level of wearable propaganda in either depth or breadth. Whether its shoes, boxer briefs, thongs, glasses or hairstyles there seems to be a way to express your partisan ideology with it.

Now is your chance to put lipstick on a wig (but it's still a wig)! The Sarah Palin wigs and hairstyles are here- finally (McCain's hairstyle will be here soon enough, stupid male pattern baldness). Wigs not recommended for Pit Bulls.

The wigs were no trouble, no trouble at all- in fact they were already in stock. No they weren't leftover Tina Fey costumes (see glasses), but they did have a famous face attached to them.

Would you believe Raquel Welsh?

WigSalon is marketing their Raquel Welsh style wigs as a great Sarah Palin alternative. "Simply bobby pin back the upper layers of the Raquel Welch's new Valentine wig style, which is truly beautiful in it's [sic] own right, and let the longer layers fall freely."

Did you know that there is a political thingy going on right now? The details are iffy at the moment, but apparently some people are thinking about electing a new president. Politics are hawt.

They are also fashionable. Political t-shirts are all the rage at the moment, they are everywhere and on everyone.

Except baby. Who put baby in the corner? Sure, politics can be ugly, but put them on a kid and they're cute (at least to like-minded individuals).

"They" always say that one should never discuss politics. Look what that got us. Discuss politics, people! "They" need to speak up.

One company that isn't shy, despite their name, is One Horse Shy, but that may be because they "pander to everyone," or at least those of us that enjoy a witty t-shirt.
