Newt’s Got it Going On?
With recent allegations against Herman Cain from former employees starting to take its toll on the businessman-cum-potential Presidential candidate’s popularity, another GOP challenger is riding the rising wave – Newt Gingrich.
No amateur to politics or a presidential race, we’ve seen Gingrich’s recent acceleration in CafePress political-tagged merchandise sales on the latest CafePress Election Meter™ infographic, rising from an average of 2% three months ago, to an 8% jump this week, which puts Gingrich neck and neck in popularity with Mitt Romney (who also has 8%).
However, this jump is still not enough to surpass t-shirt front-runner Ron Paul, who maintains 43% of t-shirt sales from the week ending on November 20th.
Will Newt’s sales be steady on the rise, or will they falter soon to make way for another candidate’s turn in the spotlight? Tune into our CafePress Election Meter page next week to find out!

Just felt the need to answer the question:
“Will Newt’s sales be steady on the rise, or will they falter soon to make way for another candidate’s turn in the spotlight?”
I believe Cafepress will lose profit$ in the Newt category shortly and will gain profit$ in the pro Obama category just prior to the Dems taking Charlotte NC over in September of 2012. The Cafepress election meter tm will then be accurate.
