PrintYour Pizza, Your Pol
Yesterday, the New York Times ran a story about "microtargeting," the practice of using purchase data to predict who you might vote for. The paper built profiles of Clinton, McCain, and Obama supporters. In the data were the types of pizza you were likely to buy as a back of each candidate.
Hillary Clinton: Amy's Whole Wheat frozen pizza [supporter food profile]
John McCain: DiGiorno Stuffed Crust pizza [supporter food profile]
Barack Obama: Wolfgang Puck All Natural frozen pizza [supporter food profile]
I have a weird thing for Tontino's/Jeno's frozen pizzas. Who the hell am I supposed to vote for?

Hmmm, I have the same problem as you Adam, doesn't matter that I should be over my infatuation with Totino's pizza, but I'm not.

The answer is obvious... it's Lyndon Larouche for the both of ya.

The interpretation is that you're an independent and probably won't make up your mind until you walk into the voting booth! :)

Although they sound good, those Wolfgang Puck frozen pizzas DO NOT TASTE GOOD. Seriously.
I don't mind the other two, Amy's Mushroom and Olive Pizza is very yummy.
I have a Tombstone Pizza fetish...does that mean McCain? You know, he's from Arizona...
Who am I kidding, there's no chance in hell I'm voting McCain.

I'm with you on that too, Adam. I think it has something to do with my childhood when my mom would buy us the microwave totino's personal pizzas....I ate them all summer long for two years! Now....how can you really pass up a piece of your childhood for $0.99?? This is really painful to admit....

My hubby loves Homerun Inn b/c of all the cheese they load on.
I love the 3 forks pizza with olives, mushrooms, and ricotta. Soooo good, but the pizza need to be bigger.

Oh yeah, and all this micro-targeting has only pointed out that, yet again, I do not fall neatly into any one category.
