POTUS '08 is broadcasting live from a corner booth at the historic Ben's Chili Bowl (the local institution beloved for its dangerously good chili dogs) today as residents go to the polls for the "Potomac Primaries" in D.C., Virginia, and Maryland.
Ben's was chosen because it's a sort of "town square" that attracts people from all walks of life, and it's a popular spot for D.C. politicos.
The place has fed everyone from Bono, to Dave Chappelle, to George W. Bush; and if you look at the black & white photo above Joe's head, it looks like the late, great "Rerun" (aka Fred Berry) of What's Happening!! fame made it over to Ben's before he left us for that big chili bowl in the sky.
Here you see POTUS '08 anchor Joe Mathieu interviewing former Washington mayor Marion "Yayo" Barry about today's presidential primary in D.C.
