A sidenote to the story, I find it funny that they sold the Obama O's easily but not the Captain McCain's.
Could selling themed cereal be an accurate predictor of an election's results?

More likely an indicator of whether the candidate's supporters have a sense of humor.

Cheerios / O's are also a much more popular cereal product than whatever Captain McCains are.

At 40$ a box, I don't think taste is really the issue.

It's a novelty item. You aren't intended to open the box and eat the cereal, the popularity of the cereal wasn't what was important to the buyers.

Captain McCains were/are Captain Crunch.
