Get Your Political Holiday Gear

Holiday season means lots of retail shopping, and, not to be left out of the frenzy, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has announced a grand opening sale for its new online store, replete with fleece blankets, mugs, and signed copies of Obama Campaign Manager David Plouffe's book, "The Audacity to Win." Only DCCC supporters, however, will get the grand opening buy-one-item-get-one-half-off deals, as promo codes went out via email.

If you're a pro-business or national security conservative, there's gear for you, too: Mitt Romney's Free and Strong America PAC is selling limited edition holiday packages. You get a knit blanket and two mugs for $150. (Side question: will Mike Huckabee and Fox News criticize Romney for offering "holiday" packages instead of "Christmas" packages?)

So, in case you feel like politicizing Christmas, Hanukkah, or both, the DCCC and Romney are there for you.
