Politics | Sarah Palin Palin-phernalia Floods Web Merchandise ranges from eyeglasses to hockey pucks By Elizabeth Wolff Posted Sep 19, 2008 10:09 AM CDT Copied Republican vice presidential candidate, Alaska Gov., Sarah Palin, addresses supporters during a campaign rally in Green Bay, Wis., Thursday night, Sept. 18, 2008. (AP Photo/Stephan Savoia) In less than a month, Sarah Palin has gone from virtual unknown to merchandising bonanza—at least online.

"The day after McCain popped the big question to Palin, 105 Palin items were listed on eBay," says a rep for the auction site. "With the momentum from the Republican National Convention, Palin items took off, peaking at 554 listing in one day." Read These Next Americans have thoughts on aging.
