My owner signed up for the Obama campaign’s nifty vice president announcement via text message. Right now speculators are looking at Joe Biden, Evan Bayh and Tim Kaine, while the underdog seems to be the congressman from Bush Jr.’s home district, Chet Edwards.

But is that the best the media can do for an underdog? Chet Edwards? The dogosphere has its own speculations.

Our top pick for underdog VP is Allen Boyd, representative from Florida’s 2nd district and Co-Chair of the Blue Dog Coalition. He’d bring some swing-state voters of Florida, he’d bring some fiscal conservative cred to the obviously socialist Obama campaign, and he obviously loves dogs — blue ones.

I still think underdog Hillary Clinton has a chance. It would be a huge surprise, but Obama risks losing a large portion of The Dog Vote if he doesn’t pick her. Her opponents often referred to her using a euphemism for female dog. That’s not a negative in the dog body politic. In fact, it’s a positive that she’s a euphemism, and that will garner a lot of female dog votes.

The other Senator from Obama’s home state is not considered to be on the shortlist, but Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin is a genuine hero in the dog world. He lead the crusade to examine the safety of dog food entering our country from China. I say no more.

Finally, we have to have one pick that’s as waaaay out there as the Chet Edwards speculation, and he is Cleveland Cavalier’s mascot, Moondog. He has plenty of experience in front of huge crowds, he know lots of euphemisms (just check out his MySpace page), and he’s been vetted thoroughly. How many other VP candidates have had to appear before a congressional hearing on steroid use? (See photo.)

Who’s your favorite underdog vice presidential candidate?
