Pizza And Politics: Dems Like Variety, Republicans Like Size

Who isn't trying to profit of the election? Through the transom comes data from the well-respected polling firm of Noid... a.k.a. Domino's Pizza. They've somehow surveyed nearly 300,000 customers and found that a majority of those who responded are Obama supporters -- including a large majority of people who say they're independent.  Whatever. The poll smells of...cheese, tomato and selection bias.

But Domino's Pizza also gives us these stats:

  Republicans

  -- Spend more per order than other consumers.
  -- They rely on credit cards to pay more than other consumers.
  -- They tend to order two large pizzas at a time, and they're usually
     specialty pizzas.
  -- They are more likely to order online, and more likely to pick up their
     orders.

  Democrats
  -- Rely on delivery more than Republicans.
  -- Pay cash more than other consumers.
  -- Like more variety with their orders, opting for side items, chicken and
     beverages more than Republicans.
