Washington Whispers by Paul Bedard

Capitol Bobbles Sales Mimic Polls

December 13, 2007 10:46 AM ET | Paul Bedard | Permanent Link | Print

The Capitol Bobbles, our Internet video feature,  aren't just a hit on YouTube. They're also hot gifts. Jeff Wolsky of our bobble maker politicalwobbles.com says the sales seem to mimic the national preference polls of the candidates we feature at usnews.com/bobbles. Which means that Democrats Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama are tied in sales, and Mike Huckabee is the GOP favorite. Between them, they make up over half of the sales of the Capitol Bobbles, which feature 11 presidential candidates and the four top Hill leaders.

Here's Wolsky's list:

Hillary Clinton 19%
Barack Obama 18%
Mike Huckabee 12%
Rudy Giuliani 9%
Fred Thompson 8%
Bill Richardson 6%
Mitt Romney 6%
John McCain 5%
Nancy Pelosi 4%
John Edwards 3%
John Boehner 3%
Harry Reid 3%
Joe Biden 2%
Mitch McConnell 1%
Chris Dodd 1%
