AP scoops The Dog Vote on dog owner presidential preference poll
By Barley • Jul 12th, 2008 • Category: Barleyblogger's Dogosphere, Features, Most Popular“If the presidential election goes to the dogs, John McCain is looking like best in show.”
So goes a recent Associated Press article, which stated that dog owners favored McCain over Barack Obama by a 43 to 34 point margin.
Right now I’m going to vent about The Dog Vote’s lack of preparedness. To be honest, I hadn’t heard of the Associated Press before I got the article forwarded to me by super-left wing vegan dog blogger, Chiquita.
The Associated Press? I looked on their website and they’re just a co-op of human journalists. Humans?!? We have our own metric for tracking dog presidential preferences that we were going to announce a day or two after the AP story, but humans got the scoop. I’m going to release the hounds on you, Randolph E. Schmid, Associated Press Writer.
Our plan is to have the dogs vote through the purchase of a bandana. What’s more democratic-capatalist than that? We will track state-by-state sales and show the leaders on the Doggie Electoral Map, now available on the right sidebar of my blog.
I’ve got a story for you, Randolph E. Schmidt. According to the Doggie Electoral Map, Obama has an early lead on McCain. I’m waiting for when your co-op of human journalists looks to The Dog Vote for their lead story!
