7-Election Scientific "Accurate" Poll

Angela Anderson, pouring coffee, says she has "voted" for Senator Obama at least 10 times in the "7-Election" coffee cup poll sponsored by 7-Eleven stores. Store promoters say the poll is "wildly unscientific and surprisingly accurate." In the 2000 election, George W. Bush received 51 percent and Al Gore, 49 percent in the "7-Election."

Go "get out the sip", folks. Senator Obama is leading, btw, in this "accurate" if highly unscientific poll. What does it tell us, fellow rednecks? That Joe Six-Pack and Joe the Plumber aren't getting their hot "cup 'o joe" at 7-Eleven; but ACORN organizers are probably making hourly trips there.

This is definitely a capitalist trick to get one to buy convenient store coffee.
