A sign of voter preference? Edwards 1st, Lieberman last - eBay clocks

[PeaceProgProsp]

The candidtates painted clocks for NH charity. eBay sold them

Edwards's went for $330 (a gallery bought it, so, apparently it has resale value)
Gephardt $202
Dean $157
Kerry $89
Lieberman $31

(Insert jokes here)

1. Could it be that...

Those who relate more to the "working man" know more about designing clock faces ("clocking in" and "clocking out")? Or the top two in bids just better artists? :eyes:

In the fall of 1948, the Staley Milling company sold sacks of grain with either a donkey or an elephant pictured on them. Despite polls taken at the time all showing a solid lead by Thomas Dewey over Harry Truman, buyers preferred the donkey sacks by a two-to-one margin. The Staley company actually discontinued its "pullet poll" because it didn't believe the sales results. Just goes to show...:eyes:

3. If you're buyin a sack a grain, you're probably gonna toss that sack ...

...eventually. If you're buying a clock painted by a candidate on eBay, you're probably going to be calculating in the value if the guy gets elected.

2. I'm impressed by their artistic abilities!

I had no idea we had such a talented group of candidates.
I like Kerry's clock the best - very abstract.

(not endorsing anybody here).

4. Hey, I have to agree. Kerry's is the best.

It looks like something Peter Fonda might have on the back of his jacket.

Lieberman's is the most conventional.

Edward's is cute: "time for change" -- that's funny.

Dean's is cute too -- "Rx - change"

It looks like Gep is trying to work in a St Louis theme.

5. Edwards also had the most bids.

Poor Holy Joe.
