While attending the IIABA's annual conference in Washington, D.C. on Friday, I saw one sign of Sen. Barack Obama's amazing popularity in the hyper-competitive bobblehead doll market.
In both the gift shop of the Big I's hotel, as well as at the National Airport stores, the shelves were bulging with bobblehead dolls of Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. John McCain, but there was not a single Obama bobblehead to be found.
“We can't keep him on the shelves,” the Big I hotel gift shop cashier confided to me. “As soon as we get a shipment in, they fly out the door in a day or two. We sell a few Hillary dolls now and then, but we can't give the McCain doll away–we're still working on the original shipment.”
