Finally, A Debate With Some Good Taste

In the middle of yet another hotly-contested Presidential election, we here at Stonyfield Farm thought it might be nice to add a little humor and fun to the campaign, and hold an election of our own.

Of course, some might argue that this election, where you, the American voter, gets to decide which is our next Stonyfield Yogurt flavor to be launched next January - right around the same time as our new President is sworn in - is not nearly as important as the big election, but here's one thing that we have that the other election doesn't.

Anyone who goes to www.stonyfield.com by November 4th and votes for our next flavor is eligible to win a whole year's worth of free Stonyfield yogurt just by casting a vote.

Will the winning flavor be the candidate of change, Pomegranate Berry? The red-white-and-brown White Chocolate Raspberry? The sublime Dulce de Leche, or the savory Pina Colada?

Who knows? We need you to help us decide. Now, I know what you're thinking - I don't know anything about these candidates. Well, first of all, no matter who wins, you're going to win because here are a few things that are true about all of the potential new flavors.

• All four contain six (count 'em six!) natural probiotics that help you stay healthy. You can replenish and maintain these beneficial bacteria by eating a cup of Stonyfield Farm yogurt each day. Each serving provides you with more than five billion natural probiotic cultures!

• All four are certified kosher.

• All four are gluten free -good news for a lot of people, but especially those that suffer from celiac disease.

• Our products never contain artificial bovine growth hormone, artificial colors or artificial flavors -- and these four new potential flavors are no exception.

Now there are some difference between the candidates of course and that's why we're having four debates between now and the election, giving each of the candidates their chance to explain their positions, whether they're MOOING for change or stomping their hooves to maintain the STATUS COW.

Here is the first debate. It's certainly more entertaining that a lot of the political coverage we see this time of year.

So remember, head on over to Stonyfield.com and vote today and you could win a year's supply of free yogurt just for casting your vote. And stay tuned - before Election Day, we'll be announcing our newest flavor and then, you can watch for it in stores by January.

Gary, I think you're cool, and I like your product... but this might be a little shameless corporate self-promotion in the midst of a really serious campaign.

Remember when McCain angrily shouted at his wife in front of his friends and called her a "c***"? Well, here's McCain shoving a little old war widow in a wheelchair:

Why, oh why, hasn't this story broken yet? This directly attacks McCain's supposed strength, namely, his honor and his character. And it has the virtue of actually being true!

Why all the reticence to bring up damaging information that's true? Why don't they do to McCain what Biden says you ought to do to any lying bully---bloody his nose!

Four years later, at [a POW/MIA] group's Washington conference, about 25 members went to a Senate office building, hoping to meet with McCain. As they stood in the hall, McCain and an aide walked by.

Six people present have written statements describing what they saw. According to the accounts, McCain waved his hand to shoo away Jeannette Jenkins, whose cousin was last seen in South Vietnam in 1970, causing her to hit a wall.

As McCain continued walking, Jane Duke Gaylor, the mother of another missing serviceman, approached the senator. Gaylor, in a wheelchair equipped with portable oxygen, stretched her arms toward McCain.

"McCain stopped, glared at her, raised his left arm ready to strike her, composed himself and pushed the wheelchair away from him," according to Eleanor Apodaca, the sister of an Air Force captain missing since 1967.

McCain's staff wouldn't respond to requests for comment about specific incidents.
