Campaign crafts

Pardon my narrow-mindedness. After all, I am not so versed in American political campaigning.
Here is what my tidy world looked like. On one hand, knitting was for mum, scrap-booking was for auntie, and barbecuing was for the males. On the other end of spectrum was the ruthless and highly efficient world of campaigning, with its fund-raising, debating, and vaguely imagining programs.

Well, according to the ever-so-entertaining (to the geeky audience at least) Slate, the two worlds have merged, kindof. Now, you can play an active political role while indulging in your favorite crafty hobby! Don't miss the article here, and especially its slide show.

Who would have thought that a mere blanket could carry such a powerful message? Well, it does, if it is an "homeland security blanket". Who knew that Mayor Bloomberg's leadership really stood out, even when rendered through macaronis?
