Even Candidates are what They Eat...

Ever pondered the connection among a candidate, the voters, and food? Chris Cizilla does at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/09/01/AR2006090101392.html

We all know about John Kerry and his philly gaffe of asking for Swiss Cheese instead of Cheese Whiz (which later became the basis for a sight gag in the last season of The West Wing), but how many remember J.Sargent Shriver in 1972, who wandered into a bar in New Hampshire and said: "Beer for the boys, and I'll have a Courvoisier."

Yep, we are what we eat, and if you want folks to vote for you, you better like their food!
