The Donut Poll

Got this tasty tidbit yesterday from a friend in Pittsburgh:

I voted at 7:45 this morning. As I came out, a man from a local radio station was doing a “Democratic Donut” poll. He asked me to show who I voted for by choosing a chocolate donut (Obama) or a white powdered sugar donut with pink frosting (Hillary). (I refrained from commenting on the racial stereotyping thing with the donuts.)

Anyway, only 45 minutes after the polls had opened, in downtown Pittsburgh, Hillary was almost two dozen donuts ahead of Obama.  In fact, the Hillary donut boxes were almost empty.

Me? I have white powdered sugar all over my suit now.

Talk about tasty research!  Who needs needs Gallup when donuts can predict a slam dunk.
