Your 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?...McCain Visits Brooklyn Pizzeria, Gives Tax Refund to Counterman
The Republican presidential candidate buys a $3 slice, pays with a double sawback, and tells the clerk to keep the change. OK. Maybe it really wasn't a tax refund, but whatevs. He dropped in on Verrazano Pizza in Bay Ridge: 9102 Fourth Avenue, Brooklyn NY 11209. [Tip o' the hat to Mark H.!]...Did Eliot Spitzer's Choice of Favorite Pizza Foretell His Error in Judgment?
His choice of an upstate New York pizza chain, Cam's, however good it may be, clearly demonstrates a serious lack in pizza judgment. He's not into Gotham's pies? Say wha?The Political Observations of a Rapping Pizza Slice
This is a couple months old, but I didn't see it until yesterday. And I'm sure you'll see how it's relevant today. A rapping pizza slice on the dynastic nature of the Bush-Clinton-Bush years.

I try to keep things at Slice apolitical. After all, even the slimiest of Republicans and the skeeviest of Democrats enjoys good pizza. But this is an important election, and I figure all you homeslices reading the site could use some guidance as to whom the best pizza candidate might be among the front-runners in each party's nomination race....Hillary Chokes Up but Manages to Diss Pizza

This info has been out there since late last month, but it's yet another reason why Mitt Romney may not have carried Iowa in the Republican caucus last night. The man must have alienated the pizza partisans in the Hawkeye State:...Spitzer to NYC Pizza: Drop Dead
The New York Daily News is following gubernatorial Eliot Spitzer as he makes campaign stops: Spitzer's tour bus rolled on for the second day of its post-Buffalo statewide sojourn. The News' Celeste Katz reports that Spitzer flipped a pancake at a breakfast at a firehouse in Fayetteville - then proclaimed Cam's New York pizza in Watertown the state's best.For that slight heresy (has Spitzer ever been to Brooklyn's Di Fara Pizza or Grimaldi's?), he deserved what awaited him in Rome, when he listened to concerns of local farmers. Spitzer is in danger of alienating the Slice vote with such talk....What Kind of Pie Do They Mean?
Today's Boston Globe is examining the lesser-known qualities of contenders for the Democratic nomination for president next year: "Like the candidate, Gephardt's campaign lacks bells and whistles. There is none of the innovation or razzle-dazzle of Dean's campaign. That's unless you count The Great Gephardt Iowa Pie Challenge link on his campaign website. There, visitors are invited to 'tell Dick where you think he should go for his next slice?of pie.'
