Our contribution to The Obama Project was inspired by PollTrack's Presidential Map.  We created a color-coded United States map out of cookies which we consumed at the home of our friends  Eleanor and David Antin while watching election night returns. We were incredibly fearful as the evening began but our cookies seemed to work like magic.

Kline's Magic Voodoo Cookies, as we called them, worked! First, Eleanor devoured Florida. As the election night progressed, every contentious state that we preemptively consumed (Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Indiana) fell to the Democrats.  Texas was just too damn big to eat. But Woo-hoo we won the election regardless!

We had such fun gobbling up all the suspect states and cheering when they fell.  Our Obama optimism has not yet waned and while we anticipate many struggles for the country, we feel like we at least have a chance.
