Forget the Election, Who'd You Rather Eat With?
There's an interesting item in the Journal. A Quinnipiac survey shows who leads in the polling numbers that really count: who would you prefer to have Thanksgiving dinner with?

With 27% of the vote, Clinton is the presidential candidate most Americans would want at their dinner table this Thursday, according to a survey of 1636 voters. Sen. Barack Obama received 24% of the vote, while Rudy Giuliani came in at 22%. Down the line, Sen. John McCain of Arizona received 17%, followed by Fred Thompson with 14%, John Edwards at 13% and 7% for Mitt Romney. “Both Sen. Obama and Sen. McCain do better as dinner guests than they do as candidates,” observed Maurice Carroll, director of the polling institute, in a release. However a notable 14% of voters polled volunteered that they “wouldn’t eat” if any of the presidential candidates joined the table.

I think the last part is the most telling.
