Former Mississippi governor and uber-Republican Haley Barbour loves bourbon. Franklin Roosevelt mixed martinis.

That research comes from consumer data supplied by GFK MRI, and analyzed by Jennifer Dube of National Media Research Planning and Placement, an Alexandria-based Republican consulting firm...

What about those of us who, like me, drink dark spirits in the winter and clear spirits in the summer?

Not really, it's called reading and analyzing.

Asti is listed on the liberal side. Martini and Rossi are listed twice on the conservative side.

Screw all that cr@p. My favorite drinks are A&W and a Shirley Temple. Of course, I haven't been able to get a decent Shirley Temple since I left Camp Pendleton....

Isn't a Shirley Temple just Sprite and Grenadine?
