Vendors sell Clinton memorabilia
One of the designs for sale at former President Bill Clinton's appearance in Eugene. The company selling the shirts is not affiliated with the campaign. By Mark FurmanEUGENE, Ore. - Bill Clinton offers voters a message - elect Hillary Clinton - in stump speeches from Astoria to Baker City to Corvallis. Dave Kaeka offers voters the same message, only on a baseball cap. Or buttons. Or t-shirts. Even playing cards. "In it to win it," the box advertises. "Only job I know where you can travel, see the country and make money," Kaeka said. Kaeka vends Clinton-themed memorabilia at political events for the company ShopPolitical.com. He answered an ad on Seattle Craigslist in February and has followed Clinton across the country and back since. "He's a very well spoken person," Kaeka said. "His speeches are - I want to say, motivational."
Kaeka and his colleagues set up shop May 12 outside the Erb Memorial Union, where a crowd stretched from the stairs to the ballroom, down the hall, out the door and down 13th Avenue almost to Agate Street. So how were sales? "Not as good as they were over in the East in Texas and Ohio," Kaeka said. |
