Washington Whispers by Paul Bedard

Democrats and Republicans Don’t Even Agree on Pizza

October 26, 2008 03:32 PM ET | Paul Bedard | Permanent Link | Print

An election-night pizza party may be the winning ticket to healing this election season. Because, as a new Domino's poll provided exclusively to Whispers shows, even warring sides like to share a pie. But it ends there. In the first Pizza Tracker Poll, Democrats and Republicans can't even agree on how to get a pizza to their home. Democrats like delivery, use cash, and spice up their orders with side dishes. Republicans use credit cards, tend to order two large specialty pizzas at once, and then drive to pick up their chow. And if your next Domino's box looks more blue than red, here's one reason: In the poll, which predicted Sen. Barack Obama would win, Democrats outnumbered Republicans by more than a third.

Half priced vs. full priced.

Especially when the GOP want a special, and the liberal illuminati politicians want the works.

Watch the voting in Realtime, every day until election day

You can watch Domino's Pizza customers voting in real time, displayed by state, starting fresh every night. Might help the candidates identify what state they should concentrate on. ;.)

Thanks a lot, Rove...

The blame for this whole "Fascists said, Socialists said" BS in American politics can be put square on the shoulders of King Karl and his hate machine. Toss in the average voter's inability to fully read both sides positions (most prefer to have it paraphrased by the proponents of their candidate of choice), the laziness of most voters in actually researching the issues involved (how it may impact things, good and bad) and the asinine idea of voting for one party because of 'tradition' in the face of rapid change in party performance on key issues (fiscal responsibility being one of them) and you get some pretty moronic and acrimonious viewpoints.

Throw in an unedited, mostly pointless 'blog report' and you get a lot of people arguing about nothing in particular as if the fate of the free world hangs in the balance.

It doesn't.

Liberals predicted the end of the United States when Bush was elected, and though they're only half right, I expect the country will survive whoever is elected in 8 days.

It can't happen soon enough.
