Presidential Hot Sauce Update
According to the latest polls from Dave's Gourmet, Presidential candidate Barack Obama has taken a huge lead over John McCain! When you buy a bottle of Presidential Hot Sauce, it is a vote for that candidate and the results are tracked on Dave's website. 60% of the voters polled at Dave's website have voted for Obama, while a mere 26% have voted for McCain! What a race! Remember – the profits of the Presidential Hot Sauce race go to fund cancer research, so everyone's a winner! Be sure to check out the results at the Dave's Election Website.
