Cabbage Patch Palin doll gets the biggest bid
After all the anxious moments, frantic voting and many, many trips to the polls, Buzz can confidently report that Sarah Palin has emerged victorious.
In the eBay one-of-a-kind Cabbage Patch Kids presidential dolls online election, at least.
The five-day benefit for the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation touted the Georgia-bred dolls in the very limited edition guises of presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama, along with their respective running mates, Palin and Joe Biden. The Palin plush alone netted $19,000, but the winning bidder at 8 a.m. Tuesday actually plunked down $36,950 for all four dolls.
The Obama doll came in second with a winning bid of $8,400, followed by McCain with $6,000 while the Biden doll went for $3,550.
The winning bidder was not immediately disclosed. We may never know, at least not until the buyer reposts the items on the online auction house at a sizable mark-up.
The real winner? Toys for Tots netted the entire $36,950 for its needy kids this holiday season.

Another Sarah Palin doll also proved to be a hot commodity on Election Day.
At the 22 metro area Starship adult novelty stores.
Yes, to cash in on the attractive Alaska governor’s new notoriety, a doll in her likeness has been created and marketed for voters eager to spend a little, er, extra quality time with the candidate.
At the Starship store in Conyers on Tuesday, manager Sunday Carter told Buzz the $199 “durable” doll was by far the store’s biggest seller.
“It’s probably because she’s been in the news so much,” Carter theorized. “But to be honest, I don’t ask. I don’t want to know. I just ring them up.”

zoiks!
* of course on 9/11, we discovered that third world country guy had a name.
