Obama Leads in All-Important BBQ Poll

By Alan Stewart Carl | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, McCain, Polls

It’s not quite the beer question, but a new AP/Yahoo! News survey reveals that more Americans would rather barbecue with Barack Obama than John McCain. This must be crushing for McCain who made barbecuing a central component of his VP hunt.

McCain is currently losing the cook off by 7 points, an edge I suspect him to make up after he releases McCain’s Special Hot Head BBQ sauce sometime the summer.

Thsi just goes to the naiveté of the Obama voter. Barbecue is all about the sauce. How can anyone make this kind of decision without the benefit of an empirical taste test? Given Obama’s relative lack of BBQ experience, I have to believe that McCain would take this hands down. I mean, exactly what in a Harvard Law Degree prepares you for a great BBQ?

As president of the student chapter of the Federalist Society in law school, our chili came in 2nd in the annual chili cook-off. As I recall, we were beat by the Black Law Student Association. Now chili and BBQ are two different arts without question. I think Obama could BBQ, but only because of his South Chicago ties.

White liberals simply can not BBQ because their sensitive girly pallettes can’t tolerate manly food. A lot of them don’t eat any meat anyway. Chardonnay and hot wings do not go together.
