Regardless I believe they should have set conditions for the campaign before saying an outright no. I have done some coordinateions for visits of politicians in the past. The host sets the property rules and if the campaign don't agree they move on to another venue. By doing it that way you don't get slammed as bad by perception either way. As mentioned the restruants main customers may have resented what would have might appeared as a endorsement. I suspect they are not suffering to bad. Boohoo look at me I need you to come to my restruant and help me because I stood my ground. If I had a restruant I'd even serve Obama, but with my expectations to risky not too.

They obviously Believed Differently. This is what's great about America. We are all free to believe what we want. AND run a business how we feel is best, for that venture.

I agree with you that about believing what you want, which includes running your business on your own beliefs. However you got to carefully weigh the choices. Simply stated the business did not properly address the inquiry put forth to them. When presidential campaigns come to town they often have a list of venues of interest. They sort through them they find ones that suit the needs and exposure of the campaign. If the owners rules don't work for the campaign then they move on and no harm to both parties. As others stated if they really wanted to eat there allow them to so without cameras etc.
