Political Beer Test

If I recall correctly, George W. Bush passed the beer test with voters in one of his elections -- 2000 against Al Gore or 2004 against John Kerry. The beer test? It goes something like this: Which candidate would you feel most comfortable drinking a beer with. I can't imagine having a beer with either Gore or Kerry. So Bush won by default, in my mind. So, let's apply the beer test to your municipal election.

Question: Which candidate(s) would you like to hang out with at Capone's drinking a brewski or two? (For Post Falls residents, the Capone's mentioned here will be the future rebuilt one.)
