The people at Crumbs are giving away 1,000 free cupcakes today at each of their locations (and free cupcakes all day Friday). Following Zaro's lead--they're using baked goods to conduct a delicious poll. They tell us there will be an “official count posted...and while it won’t be a scientific poll, it should shed some interesting light on neighborhood leanings."

So far the breakdown goes like this:

  • East Side - Obama - 50, McCain - 20
  • West Side - Obama - 92, McCain - 23
  • Union Square - Obama 74, McCain - 8
  • Madison - Obama 9, McCain - 2
  • Wall Street - Obama 15, McCain 4
  • Village - Obama 26, McCain - 9
  • Lexington - Obama - 27, McCain – 9

The grand total as of earlier today is 293 for Obama, and 75 for McCain. So there you have it, Obama's already cleaned up at 7-Eleven, and now he's got the cupcake consumers behind him too!
