Well color us a little embarrassed. But only a little. After Matt Yglesias linked to our post complaining about how D.C., along with a handful of other states, had been left out of the state-specific shirts available at store.barackobama.com, a commenter at his site pointed out that he had found the correct url to order a “District of Columbia for Obama” T-shirt through a little legwork — just finessing the url until he stumbled upon the right one. The shirt still isn’t included on the main state shirt page of the Obama online store, however. Should we have been able to figure out that it was hidden there all along? Perhaps. Should we have had to? At the very least, it’s sloppy web design.

Of course, now that we’ve cleared up the D.C. for Obama state shirt matter, another commenter at Yglesias’s place puts things into perspective.

Guam and Puerto Rico, but no Virgin Islands? We voted like 90 percent for him! – Posted by neglected islander

Maybe we should have titled this post “No ‘U.S. Virgin Islands for Obama’ T-shirt?”
