During the election campaign in one of the round ups for Irishelection.com I dared Kieran of Icecream Ireland/ Murphys Icecream to a political challenge involving the award winning blogging icecream – he more than accomplished himself with photos of politicians with ice cream including Bertie, Jackie, Michael (more time to lick it now), Enda, Pat and Breda.

John Edwards is eating ice cream on his bus tour of Iowa. There is over a year to go before the US election – long enough for another challenge to be completed? The Irish vote could be tapped with a scoop of Murphys?
