In Colorado State Senate Election, Bacon Trounces Fries
You might even say it's a landslide. That's Bob Bacon (D) vs. Matt Fries (R) running for Colorado's State Senate District 14. See the final tally here. I hope Bacon can reach across the aisle to Fries. I think their common ground is anywhere you can find a good burger. [via John Scalzi]

Hah. Thanks for the reminder, amanda0730! I just did a tally of the "votes" in that thread as of 10/15/2008.
Question: Would you rather give up bacon or fries?
Give up bacon: 15 (26.7%)
Give up fries: 28 (50%)
Undecided*: 13 (23.2 %)
Total serious eaters reporting: 56
* Undecided voters were those trying to give up neither, both, or folks who gave vague or hard-to-interpret answers.

I couldn't deal with no fries for the rest of my life. I'm sorry bacon, you'd have to go. :(
It's the deep fried goodness that gets to me.

I wonder if Bacon was able to turn out the Jewish vote...Bacon vs. Kugel would've made it even harder, though.

HAHA! Great post Adam! Especially the: "I think their common ground is anywhere you can find a good burger."...that rules.
@O_Leaozinho - Contrary to the polls--I'm sad to say I also would not give up fries either; it would have to be bacon I think.

In the non-political sense, I'd take bacon over fries any day.

That is way too funny! Especially because of the previous Talk thread...No one could have planned that better.

Hilarious! I'd have to give up Bacon - On rare occasions am I a Bacon fan but I always have room for some fries...
