There has been a lot of talk on KOS about the marketing of Democratic Candidates. Many great suggestions have been made but they all focus on the individual candidate. I'd like to propose that more attention be paid on the group. Democrats in general. Their logos, t-shirts, bumperstickers, coffee mugs, flags, socks, lapel pins, water bottles, camping gear....etc.
And I'd like to propose that we follow the Frost Cutlery model. Yeah go ahead and laugh...get it out of your system...now let me explain:
The money that could be gathered in by a dedicated 24 hour website just for merchandise related to Democrats and politics in general is mind-boggling. It would need to be a competent team with lots of supplies, a tv show that would run at odd times in ALL markets and tie in with the web site. The TV show hosts should be fun and informative. The show would have featured bloggers, politicians and media figures along with the merchandise.
Licensing issues would have to be worked out of course and I'd suggest a brand new line of Dem Gear just for this venture. Contests could be run for new artwork, posters etc.
Is there any law preventing such a network from existing?
