In the run up to the US election, promotional t-shirts have been created to back both candidates, reports the Daily Mirror. Republican Senator John McCain is contending with Democrat candidate Barack Obama in the race to take George W Bush's place at the White House. To mark the contest, a wide variety of promotional t-shirts have been created to enable people to show their support for either candidate. One particular garment features Mr McCain's face above a retro US flag and has 'McCain is my homeboy' emblazoned across it.Supporters of Senator Obama can don a 'Barack 'n' roll' t-shirt featuring the first ever black presidential candidate wearing a leather jacket and playing a guitar. These shirts will apparently be made available at every stop on the Democrat senator's upcoming tour of Europe. Other promotional items created for the campaign include 'I Kiss Barack' lipstick and punching bags featuring both candidates depicted in boxing attire.
