A Political Post April 21, 2008

Those who read my blog know that I tend to refrain from talking about politics, but I just have to mention what I heard on the Today show this morning concerning the whole Clinton and Obama race going down in Pennsylvania right now.  This morning, the Today show was talking about some of their ratings and although I don’t remember all of the exact percentages, here’s what they said:

Clinton leads Obama among Pennsylvania Bowlers.  53% over 42%.  (Cut to Obama bowling for a photo op.  It doesn’t show the ball going down the lane though so it must have gone in the gutter.)

Clinton also leads Obama 48% over 42% among gun carriers.  (It would have been funny to cut to Obama at a firing range or something, but they didn’t.)

However, among beer drinkers Clinton and Obama are tied 44% to 44%.  (They should have cut to both Obama and Clinton chugging a few in some bar while onlookers cheered them on.)

Hmmm….I’m just wondering how the beer drinking, gun totin’ bowlers are gonna vote?  What a joke!
