Despite Poor Performance at the Lanes, Obama Defeats Clinton 62% to 38%
Among Pennsylvania Bowlers
PHILADELPHIA, April 21 /PRNewswire/ -- The Pennsylvania Bowling Proprietors'
Association (PABPA), in tandem with Strike Ten Entertainment -- the marketing
arm of the national Bowling Proprietors' Association of America (BPAA), today
announced Barack Obama as the winner of its state-wide "Bowl Your Vote"
challenge. The three-day challenge gave voters the option to allocate their pin
count (three game scores) to either Clinton or Obama. Despite his own lackluster
showing in Altoona, PA, Obama claimed victory by capturing 62% of the "bowling
vote" versus Clinton's 38%.
"Bowling is an enduring Pennsylvania tradition and a part of our state's
identity, and we offer our congratulations to Senator Obama for capturing the
hearts and minds of our state's bowlers," said Jack Minelli, President of the
PABPA. "We would also like to extend an offer for both candidates to receive
complimentary bowling lessons. Despite capturing the 'bowling vote,' Senator
Obama still needs a great deal of help with his technique."
Timed to the Democratic Presidential primary, the "Bowl Your Vote" challenge
occurred from April 11-16 across more than 130 bowling centers throughout the
state of Pennsylvania.
"The 'Bowl Your Vote' challenge has been a fun and original attempt at
guessing the winner of the Democratic primary. When it comes to performance
indicators, it will be interesting to see how the 'bowling vote' compares to the
final tallies -- and how we stack up against the media polls," added James
Sturm, Chairman of Strike Ten Entertainment.
