Democrat or Republican? Do you like Wendy's or Subway?

Branding survey finds differences between Republicans and Democrats based on their "most desired" brands. The highlights ...


Dems GOP
Car Jeep BMW
Electronics Sony Sharp
Insurance Progressive Allstate
TV Channel Animal Planet History Channel
Restaurant Wendy's Subway
Sports NFL MLB
Coffee Starbucks Dunkin' Donuts
Gaming System Wii XBOX


They agreed on several other choices, including Apple for technology.

Two things jump out at me: 1) I figured NFL and MLB would be switched, based on the George Carlin theory and also on how the NFL has evolved to present itself as the fifth wing of the military; and 2) I don't know how anyone could choose a gaming system other than the Wii.

 

This is the best argument for a third party I've ever seen.

 

The Ronald McDonald Party?

 

Democrats favor the Wii? This XBox user hails future president Mitt Romney!

 

I'm a 3-3 tie for categories I care about. Swing voter! Come pander to MEEEE!!!

 

Was "Alabama or Auburn?" one of the questions?

 

Wendy's? I would have guessed Panera Bread.

 

McDonald's should be concerned.

 

The GOP is opposed to Wendy's non-traditional family/pro-adoption stance. Likely means gay parents.

 

Armchair, that matters more than you might think. In 2010, Auburn grad Tim James was widely expected to make the GOP runoff for governor. The week before election day, he made some crack about curtailing Nick Saban's power. Next thing you know, he finishes well up the track, and the underdog Robert Bentley squeezes into second on his way to winning in November.

(Also, it did not help James' case that he was a foof and his father was a flaming disaster as gov in both terms, one with each party.)

 

Creosote, have you tried the new fries they rolled out last year? Much better effort.

 

New burgers are better, too.
