It's hard to avoid politics right now with the upcoming election and people are bound to show their colors. DBH has made a statement by printing this shirt. The overwhelming amount of pro-Obama users at DBH and else where on tee shirt sites tells two things, "Design by Democrats" and a great understanding of their tee shirt target audience. I have a strong feeling the shirt will not sell well. It is easy to vote anonymously for a design that makes a political statement, It sets a value to purchase the political shirt, and it takes a personal choice to wear the shirt. This reflects 3 different commitment levels for a person and their political views, but do DBH users really have those 3 levels of commitment? I highly doubt it. I tend to vote for designs I like, but would never wear and I'm sure there are a great deal of others like me. I voted for the Obama design, but not because it was aesthetically pleasing or because I like Obama. I voted for it for the "see what happens" factor. I take more consideration in candidates when it comes to my real vote, which I still haven't decided on.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3210','Chris Risse'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('3210','Chris Risse','@Justin\r\n\r\nI\'m glad you are keeping DBH accountable for their actions.\r\n\r\nIt\'s hard to avoid politics right now with the upcoming election and people are bound to show their colors.

I’m glad you are keeping DBH accountable for their actions.

It’s hard to avoid politics right now with the upcoming election and people are bound to show their colors. DBH has made a statement by printing this shirt.

The overwhelming amount of pro-Obama users at DBH and else where on tee shirt sites tells two things, “Design by Democrats” and a great understanding of their tee shirt target audience.

I have a strong feeling the shirt will not sell well. It is easy to vote anonymously for a design that makes a political statement, It sets a value to purchase the political shirt, and it takes a personal choice to wear the shirt.

Maybe you should find a decent pro-McCain shirt (good luck with that, btw) and post it instead of whining?<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3178','sean'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('3178','sean','Ahahahaha, there\'s not enough \"balance\" among t-shirt designers?\r\n\r\nMaybe you should find a decent pro-McCain shirt (good luck with that, btw) and post it instead of whining?'); return false;">Quote</a></div> Ahahahaha, there’s not enough “balance” among t-shirt designers?
