The AP asked the presidential candidates what item each would "most like to have if he were stranded on a desert island."

Democrats:

• Sen. Joe Biden: "Jill, my wife."
• Sen. Hillary Clinton: "A good book."
• Sen. Chris Dodd: "Coffee with cream and sugar."
• John Edwards: "A book."
• Rep. Dennis Kucinich: His wife, Elizabeth.
• Sen. Barack Obama: "Other than my wife and my kids, an inanimate object I would have to have would probably be a good book."
• Gov. Bill Richardson: "Blackberry and a Davidoff cigar."

Republicans:

• Sen. Sam Brownback: "Tarp."
• Rudy Giuliani: "Books and music."
• Mike Huckabee: "Laptop with satellite reception."
• Rep. Duncan Hunter: "Mrs. Hunter."
• Sen. John McCain: "Books."
• Mitt Romney: "My wife, Ann."
• Rep. Tom Tancredo: "Boat."

Kevin Drum thinks that Tom Tancredo had the best answer.  I disagree.  The best answer came from the shrill hobbit-like Dennis Kucinich.  I mean, have you seen his wife?

UPDATE:  CNN tell us their favorite reality TV shows:

DEMOCRATS:
-Delaware Sen. Joe Biden: "Don’t have one."
