Obama's
Department of Early Indoctrination wins a tasty victory seven
days before the election. Here's the National Constitution Center
press release:
Philadelphia, PA (October 28, 2008) -– One week before Election
Day, the National Constitution Center announces the results of
its gumball election. Today's tally shows that Obama has won 61%
of the vote with a total of 16,784 gumballs. In conjunction with
the Headed to the White House exhibition and the Center's
Election '08: The Power of We initiative, visitors of all ages
have had the opportunity to cast a vote for president in the
Center's Grand Hall Lobby and see the most up-to-date results
with a running tally of colored gumballs. Each gumball signified
a vote for either John McCain (red), Barack Obama (blue), or a
third party candidate (white). John McCain received 33% of the
vote with a total of 9,175 gumballs, and third party candidates
received 6% of the vote with a total of 1,772 gumballs.
Obama took an early lead at the Center, receiving 58% of the vote
during the first week of gumball voting in September. His lead
remained steady throughout the following months, but took a
substantial jump following the final presidential debate on
October 15, bringing him to 64% of the vote.
Yes, but were the votes in question Everlasting
Gobstoppers? Or even...ACORNs masquerading as gumballs?!
