Dogs and Cats for McCain

A recent Yahoo-AP poll found that pet owners favor McCain to Obama 42% to 37%:

The fact that Obama does not own a pet, a situation he has promised to rectify once he is elected, might have swayed the survey. The American Kennel Club (AKC) went so far as to ask the American public what type of dog should Obama select (if elected):



But would Obama really pick a full-bred dog? Wouldn’t selecting a poodle or yorkie further perpetuate his elitist persona? And could Obama really pull off being a Lab owner? Please!

Obama’s advisors would have to insist that he select a good old American Mutt. Imagine the photo-op, Obama entering an animal shelter, a daughter to each side, walking up to a cage and selecting a dog in need. Hell, I might consider voting for him if I saw that!


A mutt would truly represent the message of hope and unity Obama is striving for. And besides, if the dog doesn’t work out, there is always the “Socks Solution (Former Clinton First Cat Socks).”
