Consumers are Wearing Their Political Stripes

Increased demand for political expression has appeared to inspire entrepreneurs creativity with Kerry watches, W-Ketchup, right and left wing sauce, and now a Republican and Democratic wine by a company named The Party Wine.

(PRWEB) September 7, 2004 -- One thing increased political polarization has led to is greater participation from what was once a silent majority. More people are talking about political issues and more people are willing to wear their political stripes on their sleeves, both literally and figuratively. Hollywood notables can be seen wearing clothing promoting the importance of voting while cars and homes bear slogans and banners extolling support for the candidates.

Though every presidential election brings with it the conventional t-shirts, bumper stickers, and button pushing vendors, this election is different. This increased demand for political expression has appeared to inspire entrepreneurs creativity with Kerry watches, W-Ketchup, right and left wing sauce, and now a Republican and Democratic wine by a company named The Party Wine.

The Party Wine, LLC sells wine and gourmet products and contributes a portion of profits to consumers designated National Party. Dr. Stuart Townsend, the founder of the company, has a patent pending on the idea of selling consumer products on the internet and giving a portion of profits to a political party. Considering Washington Mutuals recent achievement with patenting their style of bank, Dr. Townsend would appear to be poised for success.
