Cigars as political indicators
Michael Silence attempted to use candy cigar sales as a tool to predict the presidential election. These candy cigars come in a Bush and Kerry variety. At the local convenience store, I saw some for sale ($0.59 each). The Bush box had sold considerably more. What was interesting to me was that the pictures of both men on their respective cigar boxes had been vandalized. It looked as though people had taken pocket knives or keys and scratched their faces. Bush’s face was vandalized considerably more, though he had sold more cigars.

Of course Bush’s picture was vandalized more. It’s too hard to find a way to make Kerry’s look worse.
