From Washington Post blog:
While the Hillary Clintons, Barack Obamas, John Edwards, Mitt Romneys, Mike Huckabees and Rudy Giulianis of the world are busy trying to convince voters to choose them based on experience or change or grand policy proposals, others are asking: Who would you rather have a beer with?
It’s a fair question. And it’s one the National Beer Wholesalers Association — in a cheesy but fun publicity stunt — is putting to voters in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. Voters in Iowa cast “ballots” in person Wednesday night at the Legends American Grille in Des Moines. And the voting continues on a new Web site the beer lobby created — whodoyouwanttohaveabeerwith.com.
