Clever campaign trail election-themed deals that even the Obamas would jump at (Video)

Even hotels want to get in on the election this year. A few savvy properties have created politically-creative themes to lure visitors to their side of the fence. The campaigns are so creative and budget-friendly, we had to share them with our readers:

The Obamas stayed here--Rest your head at The Grove Park Inn, where 10 presidents have slept, dined and made history for almost 100 years. Stay on the Inn's Club Floor and enjoy the Presidential Suite where President Barack Obama and the First Lady vacationed in 2010.

Cast your ballot at La Posada de Santa Fe--La Posada de Santa Fe, an enchanting AAA four-diamond, adobe-style resort and spa in the heart of Santa Fe, NM is celebrating election season with an unusual guest. Meet Conchita-the resort's tequila donkey who doesn't have to choose a party since she is always the life of the party. Conchita will be wearing elephant ears (she is bipartisan) and greeting guests with red and blue signature cocktails hoisted on each side of her saddle. The prickly pear margarita contains Patrn Silver Tequila, Cointreau, prickly pear pure, fresh agave and lime juice, while the blue Turquoise Trail Margarita mixes Herradura Silver Tequila, Cointreau, Blue Curacao, fresh agave and lime juice. Visit La Posada and choose your winning concoction this November with weekend rates starting at $239 per night.

Race to the polls at the Omni Mount Washington Resort--Cast your vote for the best candidate at the Omni Mount Washington Resort in BrettonWoods, New Hampshire. The historic resort is offering a thrilling way for guests to show their patriotism (and party affiliation) via the Williwaw Racing Zip. It will be a race to the finish line as guests line up on dueling red state and blue state zip lines to show support for their presidential candidate. Going neck to neck, the winner of each competing zip will be added to a straw poll throughout the day to help predict the winner of the evening's election results. The Williwaw Racing Zip will be open from 9 a.m. to 4:p.m.

Party like a president at The Renaissance Blackstone, Chicago Hotel--Political junkies can get geared up for election excitement ahead with the Presidential Package and an Election Night party from The Renaissance Blackstone, Chicago Hotel. The Presidential Package includes overnight accommodations in the historic Smoke-Filled Room; private check-in by your personal "Navigator"; presidential dinner prepared by Executive Chef Eric Liebtag; and a personalized turndown amenity of favorite Presidential treats. On Election Night, guests can celebrate at the hotel's private election night party. "The essential to budget travel is to prepare in advance. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new locations we have never been before, the fact of expense and budgeting is always in the back of our mind. Considering and consuming our travel budget carefully is a main concern for most families. Lowering consuming and charges, while still enjoying your vacation to its fullest, is the key to certain success and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought regarding protecting money while vacationing is simple: Even if your personal budget is incredibly limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, no matter whether on a finances or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel bill!..". Root for your hopeful president in one of two private rooms decorated in your party's colors while you enjoy Blackstone wine and candy cigars. The Presidential Package starts at $500 per night based on double occupancy; package valid through Election Day, November 5, 2012.

Agree to disagree at Hotel Madeline Telluride--Some people say you should never talk politics at a party, but Hotel Madeline Telluride decided to make politics the party. SMAK Bar, the hotel's aprs ski destination, will be streaming the 2012 debates and final presidential results live on a 70" HDTV, and offering a limited-edition cocktail menu titled "One thing we can all agree on is a drink." The election-themed menu will offer creative libations including The 47%, the kick of the donkey, the Alpine elephant, miner's tea, independent gold and The 1-percenter-a drink so stiff, it's 99% alcohol.
