I know I brought this up a couple of years ago when I was seeking to be re-elected to my political office here in my home county in New Jersey but I can't remember what the response was. Anyway it's election time again and I'm thinking about having promotional chips made up for the election to hand out to the voters. I'll probably have either a Hat and Cane with my not so butt ugly face on the front and "Re-Elect Richard A.Schwarz Ward 1 District 2 Republican Committeeman" on the back or should I just have an Orange colored Hot Stamp chip (Simliar to the $5 Howard Johnsons Sparks) with the same text as the H&C chip but obviously no picture.

Before I do anything I want to make sure that I am not wasting my money because on the one hand I want people to remember who I am when they go to vote but then on the other hand I don't to have these beautifully designed chips made up just to have them end up in the garbage whereas if I just have hot stamped chips made up which are a lot cheaper it won't bother me as much if they get thrown out.

So what's the verdict with everyone here? Should I go for the gusto and tell Paul-Son to make up 400 H&C chips with my not so butt ugly face (400 chips is actually more then I need but Paul-Son has a minimum that I have to buy). or should I go the other way and be a cheap tight wad and have 400 of the Orange Hot Stamped chip made up?
