According to most national polling data, President Obama’s “Affordable Care Act”—AKA ObamaCare to those on the right—is just a few points shy of being in a dead heat with those that oppose it, according to Real Clear Politics. HOWEVER! The all-important “gear shifter knob enthusiast” vote was completely ignored in this roundup. Thanks then to the American Shifter Co.—who sells hundreds of custom-made gearshift knobs, including this one of dead Osama bin Laden) who sent me no less than five emails asking for my vote in their online “Do You Support Obamacare?” poll.

As a bit of a knob enthusiast myself—though not the same kind of knobs they’re talking about—I took the poll. Because OF COURSE I want to know what the knob demographic was thinking! However, the results of that poll? MAY SURPRISE YOU.

  1. I was actually going to write the guy back after getting my 999,999th email from him. He really seems to think the Mercury likes knobs. Especially knobs with dead people on them. If he did a Stalin knob or a Vlad the Impaler knob? TIGHT. SUPER TIGHT!

  2. The personalized Google ads in between blog posts are now for mustang shifter knobs. That’s just great, now Google thinks I’m a knob fondler.
