Dems, With Sprinkles

To celebrate the aborning presidential candidacy of former Vermont Governor Howard Dean, Ben & Jerry's (the quintessential Vermont company) served up a limited-edition "Maple-Powered Howard" sundae last week. (Never mind that the real Ben and Jerry favor Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich.) Other Democrats want in on the eponymous ice-cream war: Joseph Lieberman's staff called TIME to stump for the creation of "Key Limeberman Pie," for "the sweet fellow who wants everyone to get their fair share of the pie," while John Kerry's staff members want a scoop of "Red, White and Blueberry Harley-Riding Kerry," a reference to a recent photo of the Massachusetts Senator astride a hog. The possibilities are endless:

JOSEPH LIEBERMAN
Marshmallow Mensch
Full of tasty marshmallow chads and meets the strict kosher standards of a council of rabbis

BOB GRAHAM
Nutty Notation
Tastes so good, you'll want to write on and on about it in your journal

AL SHARPTON
Peachy Preachy Spoiler
Melts in your mouth, then seizes control of your tongue

JOHN EDWARDS
Apple Tort
Delicious apple chunks cut into tiny pieces to avoid liability. It's class action!

JOHN KERRY
Peanut Butter and Jowly
Swirls of Heinz(R) ketchup make this a taste for the courageous — and those who like to talk about being courageous
