Racing hissing cockroaches, NCAA brackets, and barebecue surveys have been done to try to "determine" who is more popular, McCain or Obama. Here's one from Cleveland.
CLEVELAND -- Exclusive new poll results are in from Cleveland on the upcoming Presidential race are in.
But the margin of error is plus or minus a few dozen bobbleheads.
Saturday night, children up to 17 years old lined up to vote for their favorite candidate at the Lake Erie Monsters hockey game.
There were 2,500 bobbleheads each of Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain clad in Monsters jerseys. Children picked their favorite bobblehead, but some parents admitted they influenced the voting.
Barb Mausar of Willowick stood next to her daughter, niece and nephew who all collected Obama bobbleheads and smiled. "They had better listen," Mausar said with a laugh, "or else they are not getting a ride home or dollar hot dog night."
When the bobbleheads were tallied, even McCain's hockey mom running mate couldn't help him.
The final numbers of the bobbleheads given away: Obama 59 percent, McCain 41 percent.

They should have had Joe the plumber bobbleheads. He may have won hands down.
BTW Struke, I revised a post you sorta inspired when you were a new reader of my blog. This is in memory of Jack Reynolds.
Cliff...great call on Joe the Plumber. I think he would have gotten more attention in terms of his bobblehead.
HA HA! I like the quote about the kids not getting any hot dogs if they choose the wrong one. I think the bobble heads got it right, though. I sure hope so anyway. :D
