Romney would be boring. Obama would stick me with the check.

I think I would rather eat alone.

[MayflowerMadam]

Since I have a low gag threshold, I couldn’t possibly have dinner with, or near, Obama. And now that I’m a senior citizen, I tend to nod off relatively easily, so boring Romney is out.

I always thought I’d pick Tony Snow if given a choice for a dinner date — interesting, smart, funny, and cute. Now that he’s gone, I just don’t know.

Are they sure it’s real Americans who responded?

THIS is the reason to get Rand out there:

He’s the human running.

Rand needs a (much) higher role in this race.

This silly poll underlines a more serious problem for Romney. People still WANT to like Obama. They have an emotional attachment to him. No matter how bad Obama has done as President, a majority of Americans still like him. They think he’s cool, they WANT to continue liking him and they don’t want to hear that that they were wrong about him. It is one of the reasons why Romney is having such a tough go of it when it comes to how to attack Obama. Of course people on forums like this are partisan and many don’t believe what I’ve just said, but it is true. It is a huge advantage for Obama to have Americans pulling for him and still emotionally attached to him. This is like battered spouse syndrome folks. In those situations, people sometimes hate the messenger more than anything else - they simply do not want to hear that they were wrong in their judgement about a person.

Well said.

I feel left out since i wasn’t asked who I would prefer to have dinner with. It’s a “fix” for Obama. NO WAY would anyone in their right mind want a meal with him or his cow sized wife.

[Psalm 144]

You are correct and I do not understand it. How people can look at 999 out of 1,000 politicians and see anything other than a milling herd of sociopathic opportunists bewilders me.

[Psalm 144]

I forgot the wife equation.

Sorry, I think I am fasting that day.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

I would have Obama over for dinner. Then I would ask him to carry everything out to the dining room and then make him eat in the kitchen.

[Peter ODonnell]

These people are evidently insane.

[fabian]

Who gives a crap? These polls are dumb...many of them.

[HenpeckedCon]

I would prefer 0bama too. At least you could have a couple of beers and end dinner with a nice cup of coffee.

[Chgogal]

Right now I am the main caregiver for my ailing Dad. He has CHF. I would prefer Romney to find out how he dealt with work, family and a very ill wife. He did very well considering. : )

Obama and I have nothing in common. I'm not Julia. I don't believe in Big Government. I believe that America is exceptional. But most of all I despise Islam and believe his policies are appeasement. Two eye popping examples are his NASA policy and his damnable responses today to Israel and the Egyptian Mini Crisis. Yeah, yeah I know he ordered the killing of Binnie Boy - usisng Bush's gathered intelligence, Reagan's and Bush I's and II's Military and HHS policies.
