Poll: Jitterbug owners prefer McCain; iPhone users overwhelmingly favor Obama.

A non-scientific poll conducted from July 1-11 found that Jitterbug wireless phone owners favor McCain over Obama 62 percent to 31 percent. When the poll asked iPhone owners who they were most likely to support, Obama held a sizable lead of 87 percent to 6 percent for McCain.

Jitterbug, known for its large buttons, bright display, and a powerful loud speaker has been a popular item among senior citizens looking for wireless cell phones.

"I love it," says Eleanor Wright, 67, of Overland Park, Kans. "My husband and I only use it during emergencies. We don't have internet access or e-mail so we chose this phone. I especially like the buttons on the phone. They're large enough for me to see and press when I make a call."

The poll found that among people who don't have cell phones, Obama leads McCain 52 percent to 32 percent.

2. Also, people voting for McCain are twice as likely...

...to have DONE the Jitterbug back when it was considered "the hottest new step."

3. I need to get paid to do this research

I could just sit at home and do it. Seniors prefer McCain! African-Americans prefer Obama!

Shocking!!!!

4. But, what about Depends?

Who do you think they prefer?

And what about the Preparation H focus group?
Or the Polident crowd?
(Is there actually a crowd?)

Weird science.

LoL

5. I am working my hardest to keep my mom

who lived in Ariona for 21 years, from voting for John McCain. She received an email that said everyone's taxes would go up under Obama. I had to tell her it was a lie.

What is it with this country that poor people, such as my mom, can get up in arms about an estate tax and SHE HAS NO ESTATE!!!

6. I constantly have to explain this to people

It's like no, you're grandkids aren't going to have to pay 50% taxes on the 100 grand life insurance policy you're leaving them.

:banghead:

7. I'd guess McCain does really well with the 'life alert' set also.

No to mention... those who have bathtubs with doors for non-hipbreaking access.

8. A lot of mature, intelligent, LIBERAL seniors have Jitterbug phones

simply because they are easier to see.

Why ridicule?
