"Obama And McCain Are Dolls"

"Get your hot little hands on these new presidential candidate paper dolls, and you’ll be the envy of all your registered-voter friends.
You know how most paper dolls start off in their undies? We’re wondering whether McCain and Obama are depicted wearing boxers or briefs in their doll version.
Each book costs $7.99 and features 32 pages of paper dolls and outfits printed in the U.S. on recycled paper.
The Obama Paper Dolls book features Barack, Michelle, and their two daughters, along with various changes of clothes actually worn by the couple on the campaign trail.
The McCain Paper Dolls book includes doll versions of John and Cindy with an assortment of outfits, including Cindy’s wedding dress, but doesn’t include John’s kids Meghan, Bridget, Doug, Jack, Jimmy, and Andy-maybe because his offspring are older, or because some are from earlier marriages or adopted, or because none of them is as cute as Malia and Natasha?"

Not gonna lie -- I think I want the entire line of presidential paper doll families.
As for the question of "boxer vs. briefs" on these dolls? Hard to say. Tom Tierney's previous paper doll illustrations include Bill Clinton and Gerald Ford in boxers ( LAWL | AMG ), but George W. Bush bashfully posing in a pair of tighty-whities ( LOOOOOL ).
Oh, and did I mention Ulysses S. Grant in a fierce 19th century "union suit"?
