Green Bay, Wis. (WFRV) - It's an election year, so it's only natural that people turn to politics for inspiration for their Halloween costumes.
Todd Cloutier, the owner of Halloween Express in Green Bay says they're seeing brisk business in politically themed masks and costumes this year.
He says Barack Obama masks are the big seller so far.
"Obama is actually out-selling Romney 3 to 1 in our store so it's a pretty interesting number...but the people who are buying Obama, kind of seem to be voting for Romney," he says.
He says this year is bucking the trend because usually it's supporters who buy the mask of a political candidate.
That being said, he also told us mask sales typically predict the winner of the election.
