Obama cookies outsell McCain in Ill. NORTHBROOK, Ill. (UPI)
-- The folks at an Illinois restaurant say their cookies featuring the likeness of Barack Obama have been vastly outselling ones bearing the face of John McCain.
Ben Schlan, manager and co-owner of Max and Benny's in Northbrook, said cookies with the face of the Illinois senator -- who is the Democratic presidential nominee -- have been outselling those with the face of the Arizona senator, the Republican nominee, by a 20-to-1 margin since being introduced in July, the Chicago Pioneer Press reported.
"We're in Obama land," Schlan said. "I'm sure if you went to Arizona with these cookies, McCain would be outselling Obama."
Schlan said the line of politically themed cookies, which he created with pastry chef Joe Lochirco, are being expanded to include pastries with the faces of Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden and his Republican counterpart Sarah Palin.
