What's the biggest difference between John McCain and Barack Obama? According to The Economist's Correspondent's Diary it's the food:
John McCain's campaign serves macho Republican meals. There are cooked breakfasts, chunks of dead animals on sticks and coffee that tastes like coffee. One day following Mr McCain in Nebraska I ate beef five times. (To be fair, the last time was in a hotel restaurant, where I could have ordered something wussier. But who eats coquilles St Jacques more than a thousand miles from the sea?)
On Mr Obama's plane, by contrast, the breakfasts are designed to keep scribblers lean and liberal. There are little plastic pots of cereal, no doubt rich in vitamins and fibre. There are little tubs of chopped fruit. There are cups of "coffee" that have clearly never met a coffee bean.
