Starbucks is doing its part to stimulate civic participation. On November 4th the popular chain will give you a free cup of coffee if you've voted. Watch their ad below.

Deductible as advertising/marketing.
Costs nothing.
Cheap advertisement disguised as news. And hardly original. Ben & Jerry's is giving free ice cream.
Since when does a promotion have to be original? WTF? You're dissing both their motivation and their method? Tough crowd.
Cynical crowd, for sure.
I'm gonna get sooooooo coffee-buzz- wired Tuesday!
I'm in a city that has a Starbucks ever three blocks or so. One could get an acute caffeine psychosis OD by just hitting all of the free coffee available on the way home from work!
Nooooooo.
The last thing anyone standing in line needs is coffee unless there are porta potties.
You have to vote first, then you get the coffee.
I voted already and will be sure to go get my coffee on Tuesday!! Sure would be nice if there was a Krispy Kreme next door to my Starbucks!!
in a couple of place here in Los Angeles there are drive-thru Starbucks with a drive-thru Krispy Kreme next door!!!! Thanks for reminding me of that....I may have to hit up all three(Ben &Jerry's). If I only knew a location of a B&J near me.
AWESOME!!! Go Starbucks!!!
I heard that Krispy Creme is giving a free donut to voters as well.

Very nice. Way to go Starbucks.
Starbucks = Walmart just like McCain = Bush

Figures. Just listen to some of the conversations there. Absolutely on target. Thanks.
Can I just take a credit voucher and go to Dunkin Donuts instead?
Starbucks tastes like burnt a$$.
I don't care for their coffee, either, but that's some comparison and begs the question, how do you know what burnt a$$ tastes like?
I've already voted absentee and will be a poll worker. I wonder if they'll give me a cup? Actually, as I'm working until 9:00 or so that night, I wonder if a local bar might do the same with a drink?????
Well, I don't expect to have to drink coffee to stay up for the count this year...I can go to bed at a reasonable hour.
Vote first...coffee later. Good idea..those lines can get long.
Notice the font is the same as the Obama font in all his adds. I love it.
Starbucks brewed coffee tastes like battery acid. I love the espresso drinks but I prefer to brew my own Starbucks coffee at home, where it tastes decent. Thanks anyway.
