I'm positive that the campaign doesn't support any of these things. There are probably hundreds of vendors out here with 'barackawear', etc. t-shirts for sale. Some of them claim that they will donate a portion of the proceeds to the campaign, but those will be individual donations. Official campaign merchandise is only available on the candidate's website. The total purchase price of those items is considered a donation to the campaign and is recorded as such. All of these leeches are just trying to make some money from the popularity of the election. I hate that. And those D9 shirts didn't even look that great. I bought a red and white one (says nothing about delta, though), from barackobama.com. If you want to support the candidates, I say cut out the middle man and we can kill the drama about jeopardizing our non-profit status.
