BUSH LEADS BLACK VOTE (COFFEE, THAT IS)

My wife Josie wasn't too pleased with the results of the 7-Eleven stores national coffee poll for the presidency. Here is a clip from The Hill (scroll down to the post):

The Bush campaign will be pleased to know that real men take their coffee black — and vote Republican. Among all coffee drinkers, President Bush and Sen. John Kerry are tied at 44 percent. But among black-coffee drinkers, Bush leads 48 percent to 42 percent. Kerry takes the cream-and-sugar crowd by a margin of 50 percent to 36 percent.

Josie is a politely conservative Christian who prefers her coffee creamy (she weaned herself off sugar a while back.) Seems she'll be bucking the national trend of coffee addicts on Election Day.
