Michelle Obama wins cookie contest

By CAITLIN MCDEVITT | 10/1/12 4:58 PM EDT

Sorry, Ann Romney. But the cookie has crumbled in favor of the first lady.

Michelle Obama has won Family Circle’s 2012 Presidential Cookie Bake-Off, the magazine reports in its November issue.

Obama and Romney both submitted recipes to the contest, and – after more than 9,000 people weighed in – “just 287 votes separated the two women, our smallest margin ever,” Family Circle says.

Romney’s M&M cookies got 48.5 percent of votes, while Obama’s white and dark chocolate chip cookies won with 51.5 percent.

Family Circle notes that the bake-off, which it’s hosted since 1992, “has been a bell-weather in four out of five elections.”

“The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to toss their cookies.”
Moochelle, paraphrased

It must have been a cookie-EATING contest. She probably scarfed down four or five boxes of Double-Stuf Oreos in under thirty seconds or something. No, I didn’t read the article.

the only catch is that Mooch’s recipe can only be made by her personal chef for her. Ann’s cookie can be made by anyone

I have never ever heard of this before.

So let me get this right, Mrs Romney submits an M&M Cookie recipe, everyone knows M&M's come in all colors. Moochele submits a dark chocolate chip recipe, tell me whom is the racist?

I heard Kim Jong Il made 11 holes-in-one the very first time he played golf.

That's probably as legitimate as this cookie "contest."

Damn, imagine that...Family Circle had to fix the damn cookie election just so there wouldn’t be riots.

Are you certain she didn’t win in the wookie cookie tossing contest?

This must have been the Moochelle equivalent to Lil’ Barack’s Nobel Piece prize.

Is the contest for the fewest cookies to guarentee to make a fat ass?
