Angela Anderson, pouring coffee, says she has “voted” for Senator Obama at least 10 times in the “7-Election” coffee cup poll sponsored by 7-Eleven stores. Store promoters say the poll is “wildly unscientific and surprisingly accurate.” In the 2000 election, George W. Bush received 51 percent and Al Gore, 49 percent in the “7-Election.”

Go “get out the sip”, folks. Senator Obama is leading, btw, in this “accurate” if highly unscientific poll. What does it tell us, fellow rednecks? That Joe Six-Pack and Joe the Plumber aren’t getting their hot “cup ‘o joe” at 7-Eleven; but now we know where ACORN workers have been getting their several cups-a-day daily intake.
According to their fun facts:
In the 2000 7-Election, our George W. Bush coffee cup outsold Al Gore’s cup by just 1 percentage point. The 2004 7-Election results tracked identically with published national election results: 51% for George W. Bush and 49% for John Kerry (within a few percentage points of actual poll results in many states!).
This is definitely a capitalist trick to get one to buy convenient store coffee.
