“Who do you want to have a beer with?“
As of this writing, voting is going to:
- 43% Barack Obama
- 20% John McCain
- 18% Ron Paul
- 10% Hillary Clinton
- 7% Mike Huckabee
- 3% Mike Gravel
Actually, though I voted for Barack, I’d be willing to have a beer with nearly any of them (though Hillary doesn’t strike me as a beer-drinker). Indeed, I almost voted for Huckabee, just because he seems like an interesting guy to chat with (given his Colbert appearances), even if I’d never dream of having him in the White House.
Yeah, if Huckabee’s policies weren’t so damned goofy, I like him better than any of them.
Ummmm…
You do remember that the big reason folks voted for the Dry Drunk George II was that they thought he would be good to have a beer with.
True. But, then, wanting to have a drink with someone shouldn’t be the foundational reason one would vote for a candidate.
Not that one can trust the American public, or some of, to not vote that way.
