Owner Molly Moon scooping a cone of Molly Moon's Homemade Ice Cream  Shop's Baracky Road ice cream, a blend of chocolate, hazelnuts and  enormous marshmallow chunks. The shop is located in Wallingford.
Baracky Road is currently the second most popular flavor, behind  salted caramel. Alas, the flavor won't be there for long. We will  likely stop making Baracky Road after election day, Moon said. And  why no McCain flavor? No McCain ice cream because I didn't want to  make it, she said.
Not a Number Cards and Gifts is located in Wallingford, and offers a range of election-themed paraphernalia. Much of it is leftward leaning, however, the owner, Kara Ceriello said, aEœWe make fun of everybody.aE
Wipe those grins off the faces of the politicians you despise, with specially-made toilet paper. aEœWeaE™ve always had political stuff,aE said Ceriello.  aEœWhatever happens, thereaE™s always stuff to protest.aE
Jon deLeeuw owns the store with wife, Kara Ciello. He is wearing one of CielloaE™s top picks of favorite merchandise. The storeaE™s political T-shirts range from about $18-24.
See through all the BS with these glasses, which were featured in Seattle Weekly.
You can check out these urinal cakes in action at Guadalajara, the Mexican restaurant next door. Many a man has gone in there to test these out, Ciello said.
You can now lick Barack ObamaaE™s face. These cupcakes, from Trophy Cupcakes in Wallingford, are $4.50 each, and $49.00 for a dozen. aEœWe have photo real images available of both candidates available for special order,aE said Trophy Cupcakes employee Maggie Dutton, who is also a writer for Seattle Weekly.
Why no McCain cupcakes? aEœaE¦well, Obama has a poster by Shepard Fairey, and McCain doesn't,aE Dutton said. aEœWe've had a few inquiries into McCain cupcakes, but this cupcake is as much about the artwork as it is the candidate.aE
Even republicans can have their cake and eat it too, with this treat topped with an elephant.
