I guess this means we're temporarily out of more scientific polls, but the results do speak well of Kerry.

Nice Counts in Informal Poll

In an exclusive Political Points poll with no history whatsoever of accuracy, we can report that Senator Kerry is the clear favorite among the waiters, bartenders and hotel workers in Des Moines who have been tending to the various candidates for more than a year. No man may be a hero to his valet, but Mr. Kerry is at least a mensch to these workers. They said he was the most polite customer — and best tipper.

The survey, conducted Tuesday through Friday among three dozen workers in six locations (including the two campaign restaurants of the moment in Des Moines, 801 and Centro) over the past week, has a margin of error of two olives and a twist.

4. Monday night restaurants traditionally close

I wonder if they do in Iowa. Best tipper gets the votes.

5. interesting

Neat story honest, my dad was a waiter when I was younger. I am not sure if they have a union or anything, to be exact because I dont think my dad was in a union.
