| Some Obama for President campaign buttons made for use in Idaho were printed with the wrong Larry. A defective campaign button offered a new take on Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's campaign slogan, "Change we can believe in." The 3-inch button was intended to show Obama next to Larry LaRocco, the Idaho Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate. Rather than LaRocco's face, however, the button had a photo of Sen. Larry Craig, the Republican who is vacating the seat LaRocco wants to fill. "That sounds like it's going to be a collector's item," said Dean Ferguson, LaRocco's communications director. "I'm sure Senator Obama appreciates Senator Craig's support." . . . The Ohio-based button manufacturer, Tigereye Design, could not be reached for comment Friday. Its Web site, www.democraticstuff.com, indicates the company "is committed to helping Democrats at every level" and that it "provides the highest-quality merchandise faster than anyone else in the country." Craig, whose views on many issues differ from Obama's, is not seeking re-election following his involvement in a gay sex sting operation at a Minnesota airport restroom. |
