Barack Obama the Clear Winner On Amazon
The Pen is mightier than the sword
 


Welp, if we are going to take our cues from the Internet this Election Day, it might as well be Amazon.com. Book sales don't lie, people.

And based on the amount of people willing to shell out for the candidates' books, the winner could be called right now and we could just shut this whole election thing down:

(Obama's) "Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance" stands at number 96 overall, of all books. That’s pretty impressive considering it’s hardcover only and sells on amazon for $15.57. (The retail price is $25.95.)

Obama’s paperback, "The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream," sells for just $7.99, which is like, almost free. That puts it at number 39 for all books.

By contrast, John McCain’s "Faith of My Fathers: A Family Memoir," also priced on amazon at $7.99, is holding steady at number 1,393.

So we have Obama with two books in the top 100, and John McCain's not even breaking the top 1,000. Not on the list? Meghan McCain's children book about her father, My Dad, John McCain.

Either the Republicans who are voting aren't reading this year, or this election will be a landslide. Remember the Obama vs. McCain Halloween masks? And these books don't even make us feel uncomfortably racist!

I'd rather read the instructions for a toaster than Nobamas load of crap.
