More Obama cupcakes being sold at bakery than McCain
If voters with a sweet tooth were a must-have demographic, Barack Obama
would be the winner in Michigan.

For weeks the Buttercream Bakeshop in Detroit has been letting voters
donate to their favorite campaign by simply buying a cup cake.

The shop gives 25 cents from each cake sold to the respective
candidate's party.

For Senator Obama the Buttercream Vote may just be icing on the cake in
a state he is leading by seven points in the latest polls.

At the Buttercream Bakeshop he leads with 33 cup cakes over McCain's
cupcakes.

1. The McCain cupcakes are ugly and lopsided, though, aren't they? n/t

8. Here's a similar poll
7-11 is selling their coffee in either a red McCain cup or blue Obama cup.

It's nearly 60/40 for Obama.
