Cindy McCain’s oatmeal-butterscotch recipe received 54 percent of the readers’ vote, to 44 percent for Michelle Obama’s (bitter, clingy, arugula) shortbread cookies, Family Circle magazine announced this afternoon. Bill Clinton, who submitted his oatmeal cookie recipe before Hillary Clinton dropped out, received 2 percent of the vote.
McCain’s winning recipe — which presumably is her own after earlier controversies over borrowed recipes — will appear in the magazine’s Nov. 1 issue.
The cookie contest between the potential first spouses has correctly predicted the presidential winner in every election since 1992, the magazine says:
2004, Laura Bush’s oatmeal chocolate chunks beat Teresa Heinz Kerry’s pumpkin spice cookies.
2000, Laura Bush’s Texas governor’s mansion cowboy cookies defeated Tipper Gore’s gingersnaps.
1996, Hillary Clinton’s oatmeal chocolate chips bested Elizabeth Dole’s pecan rolls.
And in 1992, Hillary Clinton’s oatmeal chocolate chips also defeated Barbara Bush’s classic chocolate chips.
Right now Republicans have to grasp at whatever crumbs we can.
