With whom would you rather have a beer?

[Supergirl]

This was one of the most defining and enlightening questions of the last two presidential elections. Americans were asked which presidential candidate they would most want to have a beer with, and Bush won easily. Despite giving him record low approval ratings across the board in 2004, this stat still held. I think this a major problem for the Democrats, but could change this year. Obama is the most approachable, likeable candidate they've had since Bill Clinton.

So I'm asking you this - honestly - which candidate would you rather have a beer with? Is it - honestly - the same candidate you plan to vote for in the general election? Why or why not?

McCain. Getting him to open up after 7 or 8 would be much more entertaining and enlightening.

Barrack is a post turtle.

I'd rather smoke joint with Obama than drink a beer though.

[NASCARdad]

I'd have to go with McCain but that is just because I'm not into dark beer.

[Extra Stout]

Obama's the intellectual. I'd drink with him and vigorously, but respectfully disagree with most of his ideas.

Drinking with McCain would be like drinking with my grandfather.

That's funny, I am the exact opposite.
I'm voting for Obama, but I think I'd rather have a beer with McCain. UNLIKE Bush, he can have a decent intellectual discussion, even though I would disagree with him on virtually every issue. I came to this conclusion watching him interviewed by Jon Stewart, who also disagrees with him on virtually every issue.

There's only so much "hope and change" I would be able to talk about over a beer.

[cajunspur]

I think your cartoon pic with the boxers or briefs question is completely backwards. Mccain actually answers questions and gives his position on issues. Most people can't tell you what Barack is done, or his stance on issues.

And only so much talk of the same old thing over and over again.

[DarrinS]

[xrayzebra]

Which one is buying? I need more information....LOL

[Heath Ledger]

Id rather do a line with Obama, i heard hes game.

[George Gervin's Afro]

Neither. Why isn't that a choice?

Unfortunately his answers and (flip-flop) positions are ed up and senile.

[JoeChalupa]

I'd buy McCain a beer though.

[Heath Ledger]

I think Obama would prefer a line of coke don't you?

[Anti.Hero]

Easily Obama.

I would sit there, stare into his eyes, and watch him turn my beer into wine.

[Don Quixote]

I have heard he is capable.

[Don Quixote]

Obama's the intellectual.

You think so? Really??

I think he's over-rated. He's not dumb, but he's certainly not anything special (e.g., Buckley, W.D. Hanson, Sowell) either. When he's on his teleprompter, he's a very effective expositor of liberalism, and he is more than capable of getting his audience to believe in the memes of "hope and change." But an intellectual he is not.

I take a look at the guy's pedigree - Princeton, Harvard Law, editor-in-chief Harvard Law Review, and professor at University of Chicago School of Law (a top ten law school) - and I have to disagree with you.

Granted, not everyone that attends Princeton or Harvard Law is an intellectual, but making Harvard Law Review (much less becoming editor-in-chief) shows that you have some chops.

I'd have a cold one with Obama. I'd make him buy though.

You think that was McCain not answering the question? Depends is an answer to what type of undergarments he wears. Obviously over your head, though.

I'm not so sure that being able to identify with diapers for adults is something one should feel smug about.

and God knows Barack has plenty of experience in that department son
