Obama gets the beer vote


The National Beer Wholesalers Association has a new website (http://www.whodoyouwanttohaveabeerwith.com) that that asks the question "Which of the presidential candidates would you rather have a beer with in 2008?"

Thank God for the National Beer Wholesalers Association. They're not afraid to ask voters the tough questions.

If you think the results of the presidential election will be based on the beer vote (and I do), then Barack Obama should win by a landslide (he's currently at 28%). Internet favorite Ron Paul is 2nd with 15%. I admit, it would be fun to have a drink with Ron Paul and find out why he'd decriminalize drugs at the federal level.

The website states, “drinking a beer with someone means more than just quenching thirst. It means spending quality time with another person.” I would think getting a buzz from alcohol is also a part of it.

“Sitting down for a beer is a great way for people to get to know each other and share stories. And the 2008 presidential campaign is all about getting to know the candidates better.”
