In the proxy fight of the summer, bobblehead dolls for John McCain and Barack Obama will face off in a mock election at minor league ballparks this week.

Each person going to six different games across the country will “vote” by choosing either a McCain doll or an Obama doll. The company that runs the promotion, the Goldklang Group, noted that the results of “Bobblection” of 2004, in which the President Bush doll won a slim majority over the doll of Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), mirrored the actual results.

Here’s the list of teams hosting the contest, courtesy of The News-Press in Fort Myers, Fla.:

Aug. 6: New York (Hudson Valley Renegades)
Aug. 7: Massachusetts (Brockton Rox)
Aug. 8: South Carolina (Charleston RiverDogs)
Aug. 9: Minnesota (St. Paul Saints)
Aug. 10: South Dakota (Sioux Falls Canaries)
Aug. 11: Florida (Fort Myers Miracle)
