Romney Camp Unveils “Obama’s Magical Misery Tour” Tie Dye T-shirts

August 18th, 2011 Luke Gunderson Comments off

I woke up to an email this morning from Zac Moffatt [Romney for President Digital Director]. The email offers one of the grooviest pieces of election swag I’ve ever seen from a presidential campaign in the form of a tie dye t-shirt — themed around what the Romney team has labeled, “President Obama’s Magical Misery Tour.” Here’s how they pitch it:

Earlier this week, President Obama once again left behind his leadership duties in the Oval Office to embark on his Magical Misery Tour, which has taken him through three states important to his re-election campaign. During his campaign swing, President Obama met with hundreds of voters, not to discuss his plans for economic recovery, but rather to point fingers and blame others for high unemployment and a consumer confidence level that hasn’t been this low since the Carter Administration. Yet the Obama Magical Misery Tour rolls on. It even may be headed your way.

The Romney campaign has produced limited edition “Magical Misery Tour” t-shirts. I hope you’ll get your t-shirt today: http://mi.tt/MiseryTour

On Day One of his tour, President Obama offered no new ideas and continued to slam Republicans for opposing tax increases. On Day Two, a White House spokesman promised new ideas but declined to give specifics. And on Day Three, we heard President Obama offer more of what was served up – or not served up – on days one and two.

The Magical Misery Bus Tour has been quite a spectacle. After 940 days of suffering the consequences of Obama’s failed leadership, America has now been treated to three days of political campaigning. This is unacceptable.

So far, I’ve been a big fan of the innovative messaging from Romney’s campaign; it’s been fun to keep up with and really quite effective. Keep it up, Mitt!

If the Obama economy feels like a bad acid trip, then buy a limited-edition Misery Tour t-shirt http://t.co/98qEqE0See Eric’s Original Tweet via web Favorite Retweet Reply

~Update from Ross
It appears the T-Shirts have sold so well that the shirts are being offered for a longer period. If you didn’t buy one on the 18th, you can still get one! I might get another one for a gift as well. I know once people see me wearing mine they are going to wish they had one.

Also, the Hill is reporting that Mitt drove 12% of all the conversation on twitter about President Obama’s bus tour contributing to the majority of tweets having a negative feeling about the tour.
