At the George Mason University Hillary for Obama rally last night, I met Leslie Zenna, who was selling some unique buttons. The most popular is pictured here: “Another middle-aged white woman for Obama.” Others included “Elitist for Obama” and “Another working stiff for Obama.” Zenna told me he’s been selling political buttons for years and orders them from a dealer with a good sense of humor. “When Jesse Jackson was running, we had ‘Jews for Jackson,'” he said.
