How many different foods will Obama and Biden be reported eating at 2008 campaign stops?
Voided
Getting accurate data to settle this will be nearly impossible. Market to complicated to settle.
Background:
On Obama and Biden's first day of campaigning, they stopped in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania to have ice cream with voters. Biden commented, "I ran for vice president just so I could get ice cream.” He also admitted that ice cream was his biggest vice.
This market will count only foods eaten while performing campaign activities: making campaign speeches and talking with voters. Since many campaign stops occur at restaurants, this number may be quite high.
Food eaten by either Obama or Biden will count. Different types of the same food (such as chocolate and vanilla ice cream) will only count as one food. Beverages and condiments will not count.
