Show Your Presidential Preference in 7-Eleven Coffee Cup Poll
Stop by the nearest convenience store to place your 'vote' for Obama, Romney, or 'neutral.'
If the patrons 7-Elevens in Missouri decided the 2012 presidential election, so far Barack Obama would be the winner.
The convenience store chain started selling large coffee in red cups (for Romney) or blue cups (for Obama) on Sept. 6. It's a national campaign for the chain in honor of the 2012 presidential election. (Fitz's U. City location is also conducting a similar poll with its bottled sodas.)
