Baltimore, MD – You’ve probably heard of the Gallup Poll or the New York Times Poll, but what about Baltimore’s Presidential Cookie Poll?

They’re rolling in dough at Goldman’s Kosher Bakery in Northwest Baltimore. Besides all the delicious cookies and cakes, Baltimoreans are voting for president in the now famous Goldman’s Cookie Poll.
Whether it’s Senators John McCain or Barack Obama folks love this lighter approach to the presidential race.
The busy bakery has prepared and sold more than 800 of the edible sugary confections.
“It’s a basic sugar cookie. It’s a cookie dough, iced with extra sweet icing, and its edible,” said Leah Cohn, Goldman’s Kosher Bakery.
Take a look at the results, reflecting what experts say is a close contest.
McCain, Obama, Obama, McCain, what happens if you’re undecided?
“Right now, Obama is 50 per cent and McCain is 48 percent,” said Cohn.
It’s all fun in the final weeks of campaign 2008.
“Oh, I think its great. Anytime you can get fun, out of politics, it’s something positive for a change,’ said Donna Trotter, customer.
The polls opened at Goldman’s back on Sept. 5 and will stay open through Election Day.
If you want to sell more Cookies…
How about a Sarah Palin Cookie…….
Lock & Load
how could obam win in a jewish bakery .whats with u guys .ur voting for barak HUSSEIN obama .come on jews wake up
now can you make one from my rabbi hell love it all the kids in my class will eat it
I don’t get it, where did the other 2% go to? do they have undecided cookies as well? or only 2% of the people who walked in to the store didn’t buy these cookies?
Of course the Obama cookie outsells McCain ones, everyone is jumping at the chance to bite the head off the other Party’s candidate. So actually the more Obama cookies sold tells us that more people LIKED McCain!
As far as Rosh Hashana simanim go, I imagine that the Obama cookie tastes bitter and the McCain one sweet!
Many might eat the Obama cookie as a vote for McCain. When they eat the Obama cookie, there is one less Obama cookie available. This needs to be checked out.
I think the Obama camp has mobilized and are buying up as many cookies as the bakery will make ….They’re buying the election!!!!
Kudos to a business with a sense of humor……..With all the rotten news out there these days it’s good to be able to laugh a little
