Profits from Presidential Candidate Cookies...

[Dien Rice]

More than one bakery is making profits a novel way...

They're baking Obama and Romney cookies!

Seems like an interesting and smart idea, given the season...

They're also keeping a tally of sales, which serves as a kind of "cookie vote" for the candidates...!

Here are several stories, of different bakeries which are profiting from the election this way...

That's great idea!!!

Quick question...
How can you be sure buying Obama cookies is a "vote" FOR Obama?
What if my plan is to go home and put them in a blender?

I think this poll is far more accurate than the cookie poll ... it not only predicts OBama's reelection... it shows why: http://realclearpolitics.com/video/2...ters_2012.html

It reminds me a bit of Jay Leno's "jaywalking" segment he sometimes does (where he asks questions to members of the public, to make them look "ditzy")...

Congratulations to McCain, who looks like he'll win the coming election!

Hi TW,

I think you're right - it shows a flaw in the "cookie election" system!

Luckily, they're not replacing those voting machines with cookie stands any time soon...

However, if they did, voting might be more fun!

Best wishes,
