Presidential candidate qualifications

I'm not trying to horn in on my colleague David Paulsen's political territory, but with the fast approaching (some would say not fast enough) presidential election, it's time to ask the hard questions.

And the Associated Press did just that.

It asked the current roster of presidential candidates what pets they have living in their houses.

Among those who do not have pets are Barack Obama and Rudy Giuliani — polar opposites, yet linked by a common flaw.

If John McCain gets his way, we might very well see a presidential ferret in the White House — if we haven't already. The Arizona senator holds the record among current candidates for the most pets.

And kudos to Kucinich for his three rescues. That almost makes up for this video embarrassment.

Someday, who knows maybe Seamus, Sonic or even Cuff and Link might be installed in the Presidential Pet Museum.
