[Pen-l] the important issues at stake in the U.S. election



from Wednesday's (4/17/08's) SLATE:
>In a completely unrelated campaign story, the NY[Times] points out
that each side is carefully analyzing how their potential supporters
eat in order to target them as specifically as possible. The paper's
dining section compiled an interesting list of the overarching themes
that can help identify supporters. For example, Clinton's like
fruit-filled cookies, while Obama's, strangely enough, "intensely
dislike vanilla wafers." McCain voters are partial to Hardee's, while
Clinton's like Church's Fried Chicken, and Obama's skewed toward
Panera Bread. How about snacks? Clinton's supporters prefer Newman's
Own Pretzels, McCain's like Sun Chips, and Obama's are partial toward
Kettle Chips. Of course, exceptions are plentiful, but these
comparisons are more than a little addictive.<
