If there's anything Sarah Palin's French braid tells us, it's that fashion is a key issue in this election.

So be sure to one-up the competition with some rad election-themed shoes from TOMS, the do-gooder shoe line famous for its preppy kicks and charitable agenda (for every pair purchased, the company donates a pair of shoes to a child in need). The comfy canvas slip-ons sport a combo of designs of the deomocratic donkey, the word "Vote," or the republican elephant (for all you Joe six-packs out there). Uncomitted? Get the split decision pair, which displays both party logos, one on each foot.

As for picking a fashion leader, TOMS certainly has our vote.
