In Case Anyone Didn't Catch It

Perhaps you all have caught The Loin's new advertising campaign. Its theme is: "Obama is an oblivious rich elitist (though of course he has a mere fraction of The Loin's wealth) who wants to raise taxes on hardworking middle-income Americans." Obviously, this is not true.

Startling New Poll

Let me first start by saying this post is only marginally related to socialism, in that it demonstrates compelling reasons for forcing all citizens to pay into the kitty in order to pay for accurate and sustainable poll sources.

That said, I recently returned from a road trip with my two dogs to the east coast, and the 14-16 hours in the car each way enabled me to conduct, by far, the most extensive poll of bumper stickers east of the Mississippi. Although I would be happy to detail my methodology, I know that Ryan simply prefers to publish nice graphs, and so I will do just that.

Before viewing, know that my sample size was 12, which is obviously significant at all levels. Also, the first column is negative because I saw one sticker that said "Republicans for Voldemort" which, as we all know, is McCain's middle name (though he spells it SVoldemort).

So, without further adieu (clik for larger view):



In all seriousness, I saw no McCain stickers all across the states of Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Hogwarts (except for the one). It certainly doesn't actually indicate anything about the race, but I thought it was interesting.

Once again, apologies to Ryan for hijacking his blog for utterly useless political commentary. I promise to return to socialism soon.
