The Winner Is

Powerstrip issues aside, John Edwards wins the "best info booth at YearlyKos 2007" primary in a landslide thanks to his inflatable furniture. Garrett Graff (pictured above), of Washingtonian magazine and formerly of Howard Dean's presidential campaign, agreed that if Joe Trippi had thought of the inflatable furniture gambit back during the 2004 cycle that might have been enough to put Dean over the top. Graff reports that People Powered Howard was unduly dependent on beanbag chairs (the Vermont hippie influence?) and that Edwards seems to be learning from his mistakes.

Barf. Ugly bloggers look worse enveloped by inflatable furniture. That's it-- I'm voting for Richardson! And his festive hammocks...

Not just inflatable chairs, but also inflatable ottomans! Edwards can't lose!

Further, I'm a big old cheapskate. When the time comes for new living room furniture, this will be a serious contender.

Not so fast, Devious. Those chairs were inflated with ... a ... hairdryer.
