7-Eleven is trying to make money off of this election … err, allow folks to show their support for the candidate of their choosing. I saw this abandoned coffee cup in Microcenter. I almost never get coffee from 7-Eleven so I haven’t seen it in the store but I’m guessing there’s a red counterpart cup for McCain. I will have to stop by to confirm.

Has this election reached sporting event proportions yet? Are happy meal toys soon to follow?

Update: 7-Eleven has done election polls for the past two presidential elections.  That shows how much I buy coffee at 7-Eleven.

One minute, I was at the polling place. Half an hour later, I was on the train going to work. This was the first time I’ve voted in a primary election. As an independent, I didn’t know that I was able to (probably because I started voting in DC which has closed elections). After finding out that I could vote in Virginia primaries, I did some research to see what other states have open primaries. Looks like I missed some primary voting opportunities in Wisconsin as well. I should have known that the Wisconsin primaries were open because one can actually walk up on election day, register and vote right there on the spot. I did that the first time I voted there.

Wish this had been clearer and less “yellow”. Blame Metro for that. I should have used my flash but I didn’t want to alarm anyone.
