Vote for the First Pet
Oreo McCain from Bideawee.org
Still wondering whether the vote you cast in the Jan. 29 presidential primary will ever count? You have another chance.

Should the White House be occupied by feline Oreo McCain? Or canine Seamus Clinton? Or, a dog to be acquired later by Barack Obama?
Help decide who will succeed Barney and Mrs. Beasley.
Let your Pet Choice be heard!

Am I alone in thinking that Bideawee should not assume that Obama would prefer a dog? Maybe he's a cat kind of guy? He's gonna be pretty busy if he makes it to the White House and cats are a lot more self sufficient.
