Good lord, the Democrat is the one "you'd most like to have a beer with"? Will wonders never cease. But will these bar hoppers be sober enough to vote on November 6th? Go read the whole thing, it's interesting.
Among other constituencies, Barack Obama appears to have won over the nation's bar crowd--the majority of which said they'd rather toast a win with Obama as opposed to Hillary Clinton or John McCain, according to the latest Rock the Vote survey.
The interactive survey, which ran on TouchTunes jukeboxes in bars nationwide from April 28 through May 11, asked bar patrons about the presidential candidate and current social issues. It also allowed people to enter their email address to receive a voter registration form from Rock the Vote, which resulted in nearly 10,000 registrations.

In response to the question, "Which candidate would you most like to have a beer with?", a full 29% chose Obama, while 22% picked Clinton and 20% named John McCain.
Midwesterners voted Obama as their guy to imbibe with--31.2%--while Clinton was most likely to be offered a barstool in the Southwest--24%. McCain, meanwhile, was the top choice in the Southeast--23%.

The survey also found that across bars with different musical settings, patrons most want to "rock" with the Democratic Party.
