POLL: Politics at the Thanksgiving Table - Appetizing or Annoying?

Does political talk go well with turkey, dressing and pumpkin pie? Or does it just make for a dyspeptic holiday?

As you celebrate the Thanksgiving Day holiday this year, consider the the following. The next time you do so, the 2012 presidential election campaign will have just ended.

So for those inclined to campaign at the Thanksgiving table, 2011 is it. Yet is that a good idea? Stories of political arguments ruining holiday gatherings are the stuff of many family legends.

Whether you are host or guest, do you favor or dread political conversation over Thanksgiving Dinner? Let us know by voting in our poll.
