I actually know someone who has sat down and pounded a few with McCain, and I would have to pass if he’s anything like he was in his salad days. While I agree with the sentiment that listening to him spin yarns might be entertaining, his old drinking buddy told me he was an angry drunk.

Sure, he could have changed, as this was long ago when he was at the Naval Acadamy and from everything I’ve read he tends to vodka with an olive these days in moderation, but once an angry drunk, always an angry drunk.

From what I have read of Obama, he’s not much of a beer guy though he pretends he is an average joe, ordering Bud and PBR while around the common folk (but not finishing it).

Now, I know he’s not going to go drinking with me, but Mike Huckabee…man. he looks like he would be fun to hammer a few with

McCain seems like he would be the guy that makes everybody uncomfortable when he has had a few. As soon as he starts talking about the navy you just know he’ll start talking about his dead buddies, and then it is just a short trip down memory lane to torture town. That is not my idea of a good time !

I like the analogy and McCain would be fun to drink a beer with talking about his life in the Navy. Obama would be all about Basket Ball.

But the best analogy would be…who would you like to work for? Both would be different in management, but both would have benefits.

So yeah, I’ll probably be Obama, but I’d take McCain. Pretty much for the same reasons you illustrated – he can be a fiery cat. But I’d rather spend my afternoon playing basketball with Obama.

Obama. Most of the beers I have are at science fiction conventions or parties with my fellow SF fans at my place or theirs. I think Obama would fit right in with the kind of conversations that we have.

Okay I totally don’t have any evidence or links to back me up on this, so its entirely possible I’m wrong, but wasn’t Bush Jr an alcoholic? I seem to remember hearing that somewhere.
