There sure have been a lot of polls lately. The one that got everyone’s interest, of course, was the recent national poll saying that nearly 1 in 4 Americans believe that President Obama is a Muslim. Whenever I read a statistic like that, I can’t help but wonder about the context and the subtext.

John McCain is a candy bar?
March 15th, 2008 by Michele
Here at CampCampaign, we like to think about the lighter side of politics. Yes, we keep up to date on the latest election results and political news, but we also like to view politics in a fun light.
So, with that in mind, we present to you the first political poll for CampCampaign.
After you choose the candy bar most like John McCain, feel free to post a comment explaining your choice. For example, he's a Snickers bar because he really satisfies or he's a Mounds bar because he's flaky.
Remember, we're here to let you express yourself. All opinions are accepted
