Super Tuesday!

I was excited to read about how Barney's Beanery in Santa Monica, CA and other bars across America are preparing for the Primary Coverage of election night on Super Tuesday. These bars have come up with some original ideas to make it more interesting by assigning a brand of beer to each presidential candidate and other bars have even created their own drinks in honor of each presidential candidate, like the "Barack’s Hope" made with vodka and pear eau de vie, the "McCain’s Straight Talk Espresso Martini", "Hillary's Hillblazers", "Romney's Jaw", "Hucka B-52", and the "Ron Paul's Freedom Call".
I think this is a great way to get more people talking and excited about something important that they may not be exposed to otherwise. Young people need to get excited and become more politically involved and these parties are a great way for people to come together, get more informed and share their opinions with each other.
