Which candidate would you rather hear read a book on tape?
Have you ever eaten at a Cracker Barrel? (If you don't know what one is, don't pretend you understand how to win a single Southern state in the General Election.)

On cross country trips, it's nice to have a book on tape. Cracker Barrels have this great system where you plunk down a deposit at Cracker Barrel A in your trip, and get your deposit, minus rental fee, back at any other one.

Which candidate on the Democratic side has the voice that you'd most like to hear for a 4-year book on tape?

11. Why does it matter?
Does my patronage of the restaurant somehow make my opinion more valid? I thought your question was about audio books...

Depends. Sometimes catfish if I'm going during the day. Usually I'll eat breakfast, though.

16. Doesn't matter what time of day or night: breakfast for me if I stop.
Just curious, that's all.

18. Fair enough.
I mistook your question as implying that I somehow am being disingenuous.

19. Nope. Just being conversational with a fellow CB patron.
I like Uncle Herschel's, or the Old Timer's.

9. I've eaten at a Cracker Barrel but not recently
because of their policies. But to answer your question--I'd like to hear Dennis Kucinich read or Barak Obama read, I think.

28. Their policies towards minorities
I know they say they've changed, but I'm not so sure. Besides, my diet and their menu don't match.

34. It's been a while since I looked up the progress reports.
As for their menu, I just run around the building three times before getting back on the road.
