RNC T-shirt peddler: ‘I’m not selling anything. It’s a dead zone here.’

Right outside of the green zone, where endless barricades and wire fences split the city in two, T-shirt peddler Tony Marzette says the remaining streets of St. Paul are a dead zone. He’s been carrying piles of McCain-Palin T-shirts in his arms for two days. He has two varieties for sale: White for the men, pink for the women. But so far, hardly anyone wants to take them off his hands. “I’ve never seen it this bad,” he says. “This has gotta be the worst sell ever.”
