No waffles but here are five top campaign trophies

Election_condomsHungry for change? Well, you've missed the chance to fill up on Barack Obama's breakfast.

The svelte senator managed to get through just half of his waffles and sausages on Tuesday before dashing off to his next PA commitment. The enterprising diner owner - quick to spot a lucrative leftover opportunity - swooped down and put them on eBay.

Bidding soared to $20,000 before the food was taken down and given to a regular customer.

While this tale of edible memorabilia may take the cake waffle, here are five more permanent items that you might like for your collection.

1) Some snazzy folding chairs complete with the donkey or elephant of your choice. The perfect relaxation for rallies

2) The infamous Hillary nutcracker

Hillary_paper_43) Election Protection condoms (see above)

5) And let's not forget my all time favourite...The Barack Obama thongObamathong_3

Yeah, I particularly liked the bog roll!!
Surely even the yanks are not dumb enough to be hoodwinked by the slimy Clinton?? Does anyone really believe she forgave her other half?

I recently saw a Obama bobblehead doll on ebay which I thought was pretty neat. I also saw a Hillary mask on the internet at:(buycostumes.com)
