Candidates sell their names on everything from T-shirts to Christmas ornaments

-->

Sen. John McCain and Congressman Ron Paul’s sites are like them, not very flashy and pretty direct, and Mike Huckabee comes off cool. But McCain has one item that beats out the competition — a DVD about his life. On the other hand, Paul, an obstetrician/gynecologist, adds an academic touch to his site with a section called “Dr. Paul’s Writings,” where he sounds off on everything from the weak dollar to defending the nation.

Hillary Clinton Clinton flaunts her femininity and humor and even shows she has a soft spot for children on www.hillarystore.com . The Signature Series T-shirt is a fitted, long-sleeve, junior-cut jersey that comes in a yummy chocolate brown, complete with a slogan in mint green that reads “Hillary” on the front and “Make History!” on the back. Price $20-$25. It has a matching beanie for $14-$15.

Clinton celebrates her softer side with a lapel button featuring a flattering black-and-white photo of her. The button shows her sense of humor and hipness with the words “I’m Your Girl,” $4. The former first lady helps you make a dent in your personal deficit or your little one save for college with a super-cute, clear-plastic piggy bank in pink or blue with “Hillary Cares About Me” on the side for $7.50.
