Every Cup Counts!
Tuesday, October 28, 2008
I was at a local 7-11 recently and noticed just how deep this Presidential election has gotten. You see, they not only have regular coffee cups anymore...they have:
They also of course have McCain cups, and then Independent cups as well. I saw these and literally laughed out loud! A man came over and began to make himself a cup of coffee and to be polite asked me how I was doing...I of course replied, "I'm just laughing over these cups they have!" he then looked and asked me who I had...simultaniously seeing me pour sugar into my Obama cup...so he said, "AHH, that's who's got your vote?" and i replied something about how both parties have their problems but it's up to you to choose...my generic response to people as to not get into a debate. After all, it's just a cup of coffee I was after!
ANYWAYS...as if the cups weren't funny enough...what really got my attention was this:
THIS IS HOW YOU COUNT MY VOTE?? huh?? SO OFF TO GOOGLE I WENT!
they are indeed counting votes whenever you choose a cup... go to this website and see for yourself! http://www.7-election.com/
and wouldn't you know it...Obama is winning 60% to 40%...and according to their "election", McCain has won ONE lone state of North Carolina so far w/ a 59% to 51% lead over Obama. Is this not some funny shit that 7-11 is doing!?
They actually did this last election and I just don't recall...but according to their website their poll in the 2004 7-11 results tracked identically with published national election results -- 51% to Bush and 49% for John Kerry (within a few percentage points of actual poll results in many states!)
Just a lil coffee for thought...
ps- thank you SOOOO MUCH Kel for the GREAT award...I will be sure to do my best to pass it on tomorrow...i'm slow, i know.
