What compelled you to create your political item?
While I was sitting on my couch one day in July watching Senator Obama give a speech, the only thing I noticed in the background were the uniform signs that the crowds have. I glanced away from the TV, took notice to the “Laker We’re #1″ foam finger sitting in the corner, looked back at the TV and imagined an Obama Foam Fingers. Just rolled with it from there and the rest is history.

What was the most inspiring political rally you’ve been part of?
Hands down the Democratic National Convention in Denver at the end of August. Simply A-mazing!

If you could interview one unsung hero, who would it be? Why?
I would interview a group of US troops that have served in this “War on Terror” and get a glimpse on what they deal/dealt with on a daily basis and how they feel about serving their country in this capacity

What’s your favorite youtube video. Please provide embeddable link.
Hands down, “Charlie Bit My Finger.” HILARIOUS!!!

What is your favorite political gaffe in this presidential race?
Sarah Palin is a gaffe in and of herself.

What are your favorite sources for political news? Why?
I subscribed to the Levine Breaking News Alert few months ago. Its a newsletter that comes to my email daily and breaks down any/everything relatively important going on in the world today. It’s a great way to stay in the loop when you are running around.

What new projects you are building on right now?
Currently in the process of mapping out the development of a Green Housing Community in Malibu, California slated for 2009. New developments on this every day. Stay Tuned!
