Republicans or Democrats, while getting ready for this year’s elections, you might want to stop by and pick up your customized Zune player. Wearing the colors of your party and playing the speeches of your favorite candidate, that’s what Microsoft is proposing.

This is another desperate move for some free publicity for the Zune players. When will Microsoft give them up? I wonder how many politicians own an MP3 Player. I’d like to see how many use an Apple iPod.

The two special edition Zune players will be available for the Democratic and Republican National Conventions if you need a souvenir for your kids.
