KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Judging by the bean vote, President Bush could be on his way to a second term.

A Tennessee company that has been in the chili business for more than 100 years is selling satirically packaged 15-ounce cans of beans for in honor of Republican Bush and Democratic Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts.

Every online order draws a vote, and the Republicans were ahead 2,402-2,316 as of Friday.

"We don't call it scientific by any means," says Philip Connelly, president and chief executive of Vietti Foods Inc., of Nashville. "But it could be what they call a bellwether, one of those barometers of public opinion."

For Republicans, a grinning cartoon elephant graces Vietti's "Conservative Republican Texas Chili Beans" on a label promising "Dubya would love!" them.

2. There's a bar/restraunt

in Iowa City that gives you beans when you order. When you leave they have catsup bottles to place the beans in. Last I heard Kerry was winning.
