Even though election day looms tomorrow, the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll has found that 9% of the likely voters are still up for grabs – meaning they’re undecided or simply leaning toward a candidate. At this late stage in the game, we know basically all we’re going to know about the candidates’ stances on important issues – including the economy, health care, national security, foreign policy, education, immigration, environmental policy, etc – so it’s unclear what undecided voters are waiting for to push them one way or the other. HELLO PEOPLE IT’S TIME TO DECIDE. And I have just the thing to help uncertain Americans make the final call – an important metric that has heretofore been ignored:

In order to ensure that my analysis on this important issue was as impartial as possible, I disclose my methodology & criteria below:
Method:A thorough analysis of all available Obama and Romney campaign buttons listed on Ebay, America’s Greatest Auction.

First off, let’s talk numbers. There are 944 total results for “Obama Campaign buttons” on Ebay, 428 of which are relevant to the 2012 election specifically. In contrast, “Romney campaign buttons” only turns up 343 total results, with 258 of those corresponding specifically to the 2012 election. To minimize the impact of Obama’s incumbent advantage when it comes to sheer numbers of campaign buttons to choose from, I decided to calculate what percentage of the respective candidates’ button totals met the criteria listed above. Without further ado:
MITT’S BEST BUTTONS
It’s a no brainer. Get it?!?!
