So the question is, among the current round of primary candidates, who would you most like to have a beer with? That's not to say whom you'd want to vote for, necessarily, unless they do happen to be the same person. Myself, I support John Edwards for the nomination, but I think Joe "Loose Cannon" Biden would be a lot of fun to have a beer with. He's got a caustic wit and he's cranky enough to make good conversation. He speaks his mind, and if he thought I was a dork, he'd probably say so, and say so in a way that would make me glad to hear it. All his TV appearances that I've seen, especially the footage of him doing retail politics in Iowa on C-SPAN, have convinced me that if he was ever in one of my local bars in Watertown, I'd gladly buy him a Sam Adams or two.
So below I've listed the candidates, and I'll ask you to vote, and to explain why you're choosing whom you're choosing. I'm even including Willard "Mitt" Romney on the list, even though he doesn't drink. And I know there are sixteen candidates between the two major parties right now, but since there are only fifteen slots in the poll form, I had to bump someone. Sorry, Alan Keyes!
Also, if there's anyone out there who actually has had a beer with a presidential candidate, I'd like to hear about it!
