Presidential Bugs!

For the last fifteen years, the New Jersey Pest Management Association has found an entertaining way to highlight their association.  During their annual trade show at Rutgers University, a cockroach derby is held to predict the outcome of presidential and gubernatorial elections.  This year, two 2 1/2 inch long hissing Madagascar cockroaches were topped with paper figures of presidential nominee Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama.  Then they were put in a three-foot long enclosed track to see who will win.  Although it's all in fun and used to get media coverage of their trade show, the association claims to have an 84% success rate.  This year's prediction winner:  Mitt Romney.  If you've never watched cockroaches race, check out the race at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICPx9sXsFk0&feature=youtu.be
