Hillary, obviously. She might bring Bill.

That’s OK, Trish, you don’t have to apologize for your bad choices in dinner companions. You know what they say about Biden: “I liked the first four hours of his speech.” So you likely won’t get a word in edgewise. And Huckabee would insist on saying grace, and I’m all NIMBY about that. I agree with you on Thompson, and Rudy and Mitt aren’t even on my B list. Same with Chris Dodd. But I might consider inviting Bill Richardson to Noche Buena in Miami.

I would invite Barack Obama. It would also be tremendous fun to have Mr. and Mrs. Clinton over.

Actually, I’m completely over this annual exercise in gluttony. I will fast this Thursday, and won’t ask anyone to do it with me.

If one were to pick ANY of the top Republican or Democratic candidates, one thing for sure, you wouldn’t have to buy a turkey, because a two-legged turkey would be coming for dinner.

I’d invite the Hard Rock group “Blue Oyster Cult.”
But i don’t think they’re running for president.

Sorry Buck. Kucinich ranks at the very top of my list too, but the top of the “Who I Don’t Want to Have Over for Dinner” list. He would be followed closely by Fred Thompson. As far as who seems easier to pass the time and possibly watch a post-meal football game with, I’d go with Mike Huckabee or Joe Biden. And if they were already invited elsewhere, maybe possibly John Edwards.
