Political leanings and pie choices

What kind of pie do you think Barack Obama would say is his favorite? What kind of pie do you think John McCain would say is his favorite?

Carla posed the very important pie question to the candidates running for Portland City Commissioner. Amanda Fritz says her top pick is pumpkin, made from homegrown pumpkins, while Charles Lewis loves a good apple or strawberry-rhubarb.

I've been pondering these important questions lately. Friends have chimed in with answers of apple or berry for Obama, and crisco crusts or easily palatable pies like peanut butter for McCain. What do you think presidential candidates would choose as their favorite pies? What do these choices say about the candidates?
