Have a beer with Obama

| | Comments (0) |

It is the ultimate test of a political candidate: Which one would you want to have a beer with.
In a survey at bars, Rock the Vote and Touch Tunes surveyed beer drinkers on their choice for president and the winner was Sen. Barack Obama at 29 percent, followed by Sen. Hillary Clinton at 22 percent and Sen. John McCain at 20 percent. None should take much solace, howver, since the category of none of the above also received 29 percent.
By region, Obama scored the best in the Midwest, Clinton in the Southwest and McCain was favored in the Southeast.
As for the biggest issues facing beer drinkers, the economy ranked first, followed by the Iraq war and then health care, global warming and the cost of education.
And, if the survey of 72,000 bar goers holds true, the Republicans are in for a tough year.
Only 18 percent said the GOP "rocks," compared to 34 percent for Democrats. Antoehr 18 percent said they were independent and 30 percent said they either didn't know or favored something else.
