That is the question Washington Post columnist Greg Kitsock asks readers in this entertaining column published today.

The question “Who would you rather have a beer with” has been used by many in determining who they are going to vote for years. Who among us hadn’t used that as a personal litmus test at one time or another? Even in these partisan times, the question still has some merit.

Kitsock says a 2004 poll showed more Americans wanted to drink a beer with George W. than John Kerry, which I get, kind of. I guess. Maybe this isn’t the best way to determine who to vote for. Anyway, it’s an interesting exercise.

So who is it going to be, readers? Obama or McCain? Biden or Palin?

(All I am going to say about this is you will likely get the best selection of craft beer with Obama, who, of course, likes to shop at Whole Food and buy arugula. This indicates to me you would be more likely to drink something good, like a Goose Island, with Obama. The rest look like Budweiser drinkers to me).

As far as any former president goes, my first choice to drink a beer with is Teddy Roosevelt for sure. Teddy has always been my favorite president — I bet he could down a pint, shoot a rhino, and arm wrestle a corporate executive at the same time. I guess my second choice would be Washington. We could talk homebrewing and how accurate the movie "The Patriot" was.
