Dunkin' Donuts Democrats vs. Latte Liberals: I THOUGHT the division was clear...
D.D. Dems. go for Hillary
L.L.s go for Obama

Right?

Welllll ...

What are we to make of this?



Who ARE these voters? Which way will they fall? Is there a distinction between voters who drink Dunkin' Donut regular lattes and those who drink lite lattes?

This brings everything we know into question. The world seems so topsy turvy now. :crazy:

19. As a mod, it would be inappropriate for me to say which candidate I favor.
Edited on Fri Feb-15-08 04:43 PM by intheflow
Which is why I purposely kept my caffeine preference vague. :P

But it's not a DD latte. Sadly, there are no DDs in Denver, which is killin' this Massachusetts native. DD in all varieties is like mother's milk to me!

8. I go both ways. If there's parking, Starbucks, if not I got to the Dunks
Maybe I should get Hillary's people to help with that parking problem :D

11. That's one of us Edwards voters!
We don't want to pay Starbucks prices, and we drink lite stuff so we can have a Dunkin' Donut with that coffee!

18. Dunkin Donuts Lattes are yummy and affordable. Starbucks are nasty and out of reach
of the average American.

There aren't any Dunkin Donuts. Dunkin Donuts is an East Coast thing.

34. The best thing about the East Coast that I've discovered so far.
In Michigan, we're lucky enough to have some of the Candadian Tim Horton's shops. Those are my ultimate favorite. But I'm in PA now and thankful for my DD. They are ubiquitous here.

What do you have out in NM?

Edited on Fri Feb-15-08 04:43 PM by Kristi1696
Clearly Dunkin' Donuts coffee is more sophisticated than that. ;)

32. Word is...
They have improved their coffee. And I saw on the local news an expert barista says there is virtually no differnce between MickeyDs and the other chains.

Note: I am no fan of MickeyDs. Their low cost govt subsidized food has greatly contributed to obesity.

25. So since
Dunkin' Donuts = Hillary
Starbucks = Obama

Does Krispy Kreme = Edwards

As far as republicans

Hostess = McCain
At one time it was prevalent, but then it became second day when its expiration date was marked off. It's basically stale, but just like hostess snacks it might just have a little life left in it. The main concern is for how long!

36. Are there also Krispy Kreme Obamaists?
Or would they be Krispy Kreme Kucinichists? If so, they'd be the most alliterative of Democrats. ;-)
