finally a STRAW Poll we can agree on

(CNN) – As some Americans recover from hangovers induced by St. Patrick’s Day, a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation Poll released Tuesday suggests a voter’s drinking preferences may also reveal their political preferences.

Beer drinkers appear more likely to vote for Sen. John McCain in November, while those who enjoy wine say they’re more likely to vote Democratic in the fall. Among registered voters who prefer beer to wine, McCain has a 53 percent-46 percent edge over Sen. Hillary Clinton while McCain winds up in a virtual tie with Sen. Barack Obama among beer drinkers. In the head-to-head match-ups with McCain, Sens. Obama and Clinton each win a majority among registered voters who prefer wine to beer.

Overall, 28 percent of all Americans say they prefer beer to wine and 31 percent say they would rather have a glass of wine than a bottle of brew. (The rest claim that they never drink under any circumstances, and so we do not trust or believe them, we are actively attempting to revoke their voter registration cards because they have communist tendencies.)

Wine drinkers who only took one sip of their drink , and then asked the bartender to keep the glass on ice while they took a walk around Jazz fest , supported any corpse the liberal swine could dig up and nominate against the all powerful, ever knowing Conservatives who protect your liberal as**s.

The apparent political differences are really matters of gender and class – men are big beer drinkers while women prefer wine over beer, as do higher-income Americans and college graduates. Some men do not drink on consecutive days anymore, they are known as "blossoms", or impostors.

The poll of 950 registered voters was conducted by telephone on March 14-16 and has a sampling error of plus or minus 6.5 percentage points.

McCain also held a slight lead over the democrats amongst those who would drink "anything that aint effen nailed down Son" .....which is very promising.
