Obama Leading McCain 2:1

We're not talking the battle for electoral votes here, we're talking bragging rights for the best cocktail. At the Gypsy Bar in Atlantic City's Borgata Hotel, the Ciroc Obama is outselling the McCainarita by a margin of nearly two to one. (See recipes below.) If you're looking to raise a glass to the winner at the end of tonight's tally (or if you need to drown your sorrows), we recommend throwing caution to the wind and trying both of these casino cocktails. But don't bother with the Gypsy Bar's Miss Independent creation. If you still haven't made up your mind about whom you're voting for, we have no sympathy for you. Go drink some white Zinfandel instead. Lastly, if you need something to sate your your sweet tooth, pick yourself up a box of Obama and McCain cookies from Chelsea Market baker extraordinaire Eleni's and some chocolate Democrat and Republican lollipops from Jacques Torres. May the best creation win!
