Like a bad hangover from the 1980s, Cabbage Patch dolls are back and have surfaced on eBay. Specifically, four one-of-a-kind dolls in the likeness of Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Sarah Palin, and John McCain are going up for auction on eBay. "These four folks in particular seemed like the perfect candidates, if you will, to become one-of-a-kind Cabbage Patch Kids," said Jakks Pacific Inc. spokeswoman Genna Rosenberg. "We've had a great history with making celebrity look-alikes with these Kids. We've done everyone from Elvis to Donald Trump to Ellen and Oprah." All proceeds from the auction, which begins Thursday and ends November 4, will benefit the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation.

The only thing more superior than the popular vote (besides the electoral college)? Anna Wintour. The Vogue editrix has already called this election in favor of Obama/Biden with a photo spread in the magazine's November issue. Running under the banner, "All the Vice President's Women," the feature showcases the many ladies of Joe Biden's life (think extended family, not harem). It's a sunny look at democracy, if democracy were dolled up in J. Crew and American Apparel instead of stuffy, ill-fitting suits -- unless the feature's header ends up jinxing everything.

In the post-debate blogosphere, the standout watercooler moment, the topline gaffe, was when McCain referred to his opponent as "that one." Everyone wants to know, "what did he mean? Was it disrespect? Racism? A sign of out-of-touchness?" Google "that one" and see what comes up. But to me, even more notable than McCain's already infamous talk-down was his reference to hair transplants. It's no secret that Obama's running mate Joe Biden is rumored to have had his wispy white mane transplanted in, and when discussing insurance regulation (huh?), McCain made an obvious slip-up that even he noticed, and quickly tried to cover up.

People are looking for all sorts of ways to spruce up their enjoyment of tonight's vice presidential debate, from Sarah Palin bingo to plain old debate drinking games. Debate parties will be raging from sea to shining sea tonight, with viewers waiting to see which candidate will out-gaffe the other. But really, with Obama leaping ahead to a 7-point lead, what's a Palin to do?

Since the Republican National Convention is a wash thanks to the Sarah "Barracuda" Palin baby scandal and Hurricane Gustav strafing the Gulf Coast, let's go back to something fun, like Joe Biden! Here's a great story from Biden's hometown paper that delves into his style, adding some heft to what I posted last week. And since we'll all be seeing a lot more of him, why not get the hard facts, right? The details from the streets of Delaware: Biden favors the sharp "banker" popular among Delaware men, prefers blue or gray suits, and wears "no wrinkle" shirts with Senate cufflinks. "He's pretty conservative, but sort of updated conservative," says Jay Steimle, store manager of the Jos. A. Bank store in Greenville, Delaware, where the vice presidential candidate is a regular customer.

There's no doubt that Joe Biden has style -- yet that style often teeters between snazzy gangster and dapper car salesman. I'm not sure if he wears a diamond pinkie ring, but he should. He certainly can pull it off with that swagger and bemused, crazy glint in his eyes. You have to hand it Biden: The man always looks stately and slick. Often referred to the best-dressed man in the senate, Biden struts around shooting French cuffs out of well-cut suits and sometimes sports playful suspenders. Biden made Esquire's Best Dressed list in 2006 -- as did Barack Obama! -- coming in at #14 (Obama was #18). "[Biden's] style -- strong, traditional suits, bold power ties, subtle pocket squares, weighty cuff links, substantial watches -- unmistakably says 'authority,'" gushed the mag. Sartorially speaking, the guy is not boring. So, where does Diamond Joe shop?
