Food for Thought

I have finally decided how I will choose who I will be voting for in the Primary elections this year. The AP asked all the ’08 candidates “What is your favorite food to cook?” It seems to me that John Edwards doesn’t know what side of the line he’s on. I guess its true: Republicans are meat-eating hawks and Democrats are, well, everybody else.

DEMOCRATS:

Delaware Sen. Joe Biden: Pasta

New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton: “I’m a lousy cook, but I make pretty good soft scrambled eggs.”

Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd: “An August New England dinner: Lobster, corn and tomatoes.”

Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards: Hamburgers

Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich: Hot water, according to his wife, Elizabeth. Doesn’t cook. A vegan, he favors fresh fruits and vegetables.

Illinois Sen. Barack Obama: Chili

New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson: Diet milkshake

REPUBLICANS:

Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback: Beef

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani: Hamburgers or steak on the grill

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee: Ribeye steak on the grill

California Rep. Duncan Hunter: Chicken fried venison.

Arizona Sen. John McCain: Baby-back ribs

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney: Hot dog

Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo: Doesn’t cook.
