Ice Cream maker Ben and Jerry's has a new flavor just for this campaign season - Cherries for Change.

Ben and Jerry's founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield (former Edwards supporters) joined Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) to endorse Senator Barack Obama for president as a lead up to this insignificant™ state's Democratic Primary on March 4th.

Via Politico

Ben and Jerry, along with Senator Leahy, drove to American Flatbread in Burlington in "ObamaMobiles" which they designed to help get out the vote for Vermont's March 4th primary. Said Cohen, "The ObamaMobiles are true vehicles for change. There's a lot at stake in this election. All Vermonters need to make their voices heard and vote."

The ice cream makers have offered the Obama campaign use of the ObamaMobiles until the state's primary. This move may get this bucolic New England state more attention than it might have otherwise having to compete for media time with significant© states like Texas and Ohio.

Sounds like good eatin' to me!

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
