7-election

Since most of this nation thrives on coffee, i think this is a great and fun way to predict the election.

Would you have to get one of each to be politically correct? (laughs and smiles)
That's alot of stuff to drink. Hey but you do what you have to do, right?

@ Neghie...

Why the 7-11 hostility? All they have done is give children an overwhelming amount of slurpee flavors to choose from.

What about people who cannot afford 7-11 coffe?
Pretty dumb

Don't you have to be toothless and barefoot to walk inside of a 7-11?

Well, I don't drink much coffee so this doesn't really appeal to me. Also, I can't imagine it being very accurate for many reasons stated here.

P.S.- The write-in cup is a good idea.

Ugh. Third-party people can be quiet.
The fact of the matter is: you're wasting your vote. The chance of an Independent party winning so low that it's ridiculous. Instead of wasting your vote on someone that has such a small chance of winning, you can put it towards one of the two that honestly have a fighting chance that match your vote the best, and do your political ideas some good.

If people hadn't given 20% of votes to Nadar in 2004 and went with Gore who had similar beliefs, then we wouldn't have the fucker in office we have now.

Anyway, about this...

Let's pray to God they're right again!

No 7 Elevens in North Dasnowta, I think this is a fun idea, wish I could participate.

Just to let you know I went to a store and all that they had were McCain ones -- I was told that the Obama ones were all sold out - so if I wanted coffe it would be a vote for McCain ... MMMM

What a great fun idea. I wish Starbucks had something like it.

if only they had slurpee cups... sorry obama

You can only vote once. You can buy coffee way more than once. I see some flaws in it. Only time will tell if their predictions are correct.

I just want the cup, this is a clever idea 7-11!

I always wondered what this whole 7-election was all about!

How about a write in cup? What if you are freethinker who doesn't intend to vote for either of them? This is only a way for 7-11 to make a profit off of coffee which by the way harms the environment. How much water does 7-11 waste making it all? Amazing what people think is important. If this had been about real issues it would have fallen into the abyss by now.

I like slushies! QT has them, not the electoral cups, QT is pretty similar with 7-11, probably not as good, even though, yes none in Georgia...

With all the economic scandal going on, I wouldn't be surprised if people used their votes against the bailout in the form of not voting for the mainstream Red or Blue options.

I don't normally buy coffee from 7-11, but if they added a cup for "other" I would out of principle alone.

MMMM a slurpeee!!

Yeah, where are the Ron Paul or "other" cups?

Maybe we should petition 7-11.

Does buying a Slurpee mean that you are undecided?

too bad the last 2 elections were stolen.

This is a brilliant way to sell more coffee. I just wish their coffee tasted better.

i'm writing in Ron Paul... where's the 'Write-In' cup???

I find the percentages interesting.

Ohio(!) has the biggest Obama spread but all of them are at least 60/40. In the 3 McCain states, he leads by 2 or 3 percent.

I miss 7-11, none over here in GA, but we have the damn commercials on t.v.

This is great get your morning jolt and show everyone your political party support. I cant wait tho when they run out of obama cups and have to start using the soda fountain cups....

Where's the cups for Nader and McKinney!

This isn't just a two party system... give all parties equal time and promotion or don't give it to anyone.

it's 7-11- NOT Starbucks,johnny_d.

I wonder if you can buy "write-in" ballot cups?

That's how I vote, I just buy as much Obama Brew as I can.

love this - thanks for finding it Current!

"they" also state that whoever's mask sells the most during Halloween is going to be President. It's worked the last three times.

ahh. Who buys Coffee at a 7-11!? If so, your taste has some issues. This "test" might only adress those who are more likely to go into a 7-11, therefore, that have a Car and then that have a lousy like on Coffee. I see McCain winning there.

Why not starbucks? I bet Obama would win there 80/20

No Bob Barr cups...

That sounds funny.

This is so great! Are you kidding me? It's not dumb at all! It's really clever. You can express who you'll vote for by drinking a cup of coffee! Yeah 7-11, this is a much better idea than online polls. Plus, you get a souvenir cup. =)

And what about us third parties? Nader anyone?

works for me, will go to 7-11 tomorrow before work.

This sounds a lot better than the electoral college to me.

uhh... this is dumb.

We don't have 7-11s in Houston.

When the fourth largest city isn't giving an opinion...tisk tisk.

I'm sure there are some here somewhere...but I've never seen one in a long while.

If I were to go to one I'd go one day and get red then go the next day and get blue...just because I collect stuff like that.

Anyways this is a clever and interesting way of going about it.

I'm in Chicago and I saw these last night. Scooped a bunch of them (mostly because I'm a college student and barely have anything to my name, much less dinnerware). There were only Obama ones though, even in the 'McCain' cup column. Part of me hopes it's just the store employees assuming Obama would be more popular in his hometown rather than that's all that was left after everyone took McCain/Independent ones...

I've been buying my coffee there for the last couple of months, and lately I've had my little blue cup floating in a sea of red every morning at the bus stop. I get some stares and some nasty comments I'm sure, but my iPod screens it all from me...

I saw this yesterday and thought, huh, that's clever. Way to go 7-11.
