As you may or may not know, 7-11 is holding an "election" based on who buys more Obama or McCain coffee at their store. This election has actually been pretty accurate in the last two presidential elections. Anyway, the results two days ago were:

[Sanity Claws]

3. NJ for McCain??

Could it be the truckers on the Jersey Turnpike? I just don't see Jersey as red.

[PM7nj]

20. No one goes to 7-11... it's all WaWa all the time here. nt

[mucifer]

4. dam democrat elitist sipping 7/11 coffee!

:rofl:

[glowing]

5. NY and NJ may not be fair.. how many liberals buy coffee from 7-11 anyway. add to that NH.

6. LOL, that's kinda ironic that the "free market" would accurately poll the election.

that would be the ultimate Fuck you to the free market loving Republicans.

I know it doesn't sound as cool but what the fuck happened to the "mixed market" system we were supposed to have? That was supposed to be the best of both worlds as the free market never would work in reality because people on a mass scale fucking suck at not being crappy so the government regulation, which also sucks when it's a completely nationalized market, gets added to mix to compensate. It's like chocolate-- people always assume the more chocolate the better when they don't realize that 100% pure chocolate is actually really fucking bitter and an acquired taste (although it can be some of the finest in the world but not feasible to have in massive quantities). The chocolate that most people know and love had to be arrived at through years and years of experimentation and basically needed other ingredients added in order to make it more edible for popular consumption.

9. Very nice analogy.

I've had 100% chocolate and boy howdy you are right about that! :D

[eshfemme]

22. Yeah, I'm particular about my chocolate as I hate it if's too sweet but also if it's too bitter.

I've had 90% pure chocolate and it sucked. It's definitely sold as a delicacy though but for the majority of people, normal mixed chocolate is the way to go.

I mean, if you don't mix it up, you don't get completely delicious stuff like white chocolate or the Lindor truffles. Seriously, you shouldn't go to extremes if you can help it in your life, so why can't people realize that when it comes to their government and public institutions?

7. Rednecks buy coffee at 7-11

Nj is as blue as they come. I've lived here for over 20 years and have never bought coffee at 7-11....

[crispini]

8. So why is Texas polling blue? (Snicker)

Seriously, I do realize that this is doubtless massively skewed by where the stores are and who buys there -- I'm just enjoying seeing Texas blue. :D

[RoccoR5955]

13. Dontcha think that McBushco, Inc. would fold if Texas REALLY turned blue? n/t

[crispini]

15. Hehehehehehehhehe. Just the thought makes me chortle gleefully. nt

[SoxFan]

17. Actually, no

They buy it at Irving.

Most of the 7/11s in NH are in urban/suburban areas like Manchester and Nashua.

10. my roommate told me about this

he's been keeping his own personal tally. he hasn't sold many, but obama's leading mccain at his store :D

do you have a link where i can check the stats?

[crispini]

12. Here

http://www.7-election.com/

It doesn't drill down to the individual store, sadly. I was hoping it would. (What a geek I am.) :)

[fizzgig]

18. radness!

thank you kindly

the geek that i am wishes it were broken down by store, too :D

[RoccoR5955]

11. There aren't any 7-11s in cities, they are mostly part of gas stations.

So this may be skewed that way. I really don't see many of them at all here in the scenic, and historical Hudson Valley of NY. I think in all my travels around here in the past 30 years, I have seen all of 4.

[crispini]

14. Ahah. See, that makes sense.

Here in Texas, 7-11's are a fairly urban phenomenon. And they are EVERYWHERE.

[trailer5533]

16. can we wi hre

hope

[Barack_America]

19. Obama winning in UT??!?!

I'll take it!

[Neecy]

21. Okay, I'm going to 7-11 today

I still have my Kerry cup from 2004 and I need to add to the collection...and keep Kansas in the Obama camp.

Hysterical! Thanks for posting.
