JACKSONVILLE, FL -- As the last few months of Presidential campaigning go forward people are finding creative ways to show their support for the candidates.

Some people will sling their choice for the White House over their shoulders. The Vermont company called "Flashbags" is creating what they call 'bags with a message'. The message is Barack Obama for president.

A few weeks ago, the company gave one of the bags to a friend to carry around Burlington, Vermont. Since then they haven't been able to keep up with the demand for the Obama Bag.

The Obama bags sell for $88 online.

On the web voters can find unique ways to show their support even displaying their choice on their feet.

The company called Hot Flops is hoping you will "flop your vote". They are selling flip flops adorned with Barack Obama or John McCain heads.

The summery shoes sell for $30 online.

There is still the standard merchandise: t-shirts, bumper stickers and signs. But in 2008, the trend for expressing political views is going for the unconventional.
