My swag is yours. Again.
I know what you're thinking: Kerry, last week you offered up a prime piece of swag from the Democratic Convention.
Is there nothing for us from the Republican Convention?
As luck would have it, once again members of the media got canvas bags filled with mints fabulous gifts. The best freebie? Another water bottle.
See for yourself.
Like last week's, this bottle was also made in the USA and also holds 1000 ml. of water. The main difference is the jaunty elephant on the logo.
Imagine sitting on the beach, drinking out of this styling water bottle. Everyone will want a sip!
Simply tell us, in 25 words or less why you want this genuine Republican Convention souvenir and it could be yours.
Enter as often as you like. Keep it clean and I'll keep the bottle clean until I get back to Hampton Roads.
Winner of the Great Republican Water Bottle Giveaway will be announced Thursday morning.

Water Bottle.....Priceless
Cost of Swags, $30 each.
Cost of confetti, $3,000.00.
Cost of Elephant running off the Republican water bottle...PRICELESS.
Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink
Actually, since I was at the Dem Convention, I think this would be a perfect complement to the one I got there.
D's and R's are all the same
Just like the identical water bottles from the DNC and RNC - empty and sponsored by the same major corporations.
Read the small print at the bottom of the bottle
It is stamped as "Recycled". As in the same Rhetoric as the last two elections.
Correct logo!
The Visa logo? Yea, they are already deep in the Republicans pockets, milking Americans each day, but where is the Enron logo? Or Exxon? or Halliburton? A logo of a Red Hand would have been nice for Virginians.
Empty Promises
They would have done better to have filled it with gas, and charged $25.00 a bottle!
Message In A Bottle...
Bottle of Wine, White or Red...
Maybe just a Prune Juice instead.
The perfect irony for All to see...
Kerry’s Bottle...Won by John WB!
Bottle full of nothing
A empty bottle that represents Sara Palin's experience. Perhaps they should have filled it with Moose blood.
Swag
Would love to have a souvenir of the Conventions. 100% percent behind the Republician Party this election as I feel they are our only hope!
You are my favorite and make sure I read you daily. Love the way you "Tell it like it is"
Have a great time!!
WATER BOTTLE
My favorite columnist went to the RNC and all I got was this lousy water bottle.
Bottle
I would like the bottle because if I brought it to work to drink out of, I would get a better parking space. How, you ask? The aging hippies that I work with would have strokes if they saw one of their colleagues drinking from an RNC bottle!!
WATER BOTTLE
Daddy's moonshine looks like just plain water in this bottle - makes me look smart!
WATER BOTTLE
Using this water bottle to stay hydrated is a good strategery!
WATER BOTTLE
An elephant never forgets to rehydrate, recycle, reuse, vote, ummm - what was I talking about?
An empty bottle
What a perfect symbolism for the Republican party. A empty bottle that represents the Americas budget. A empty bottle that represents our economy, the amount of oil that would pay for the war in Iraq or the promises fullfilled by Bush/Cheney at the last convention!
