If the election were held today ...

... a lot of people would be very confused.

A poll conducted by the Associated Press/Yahoo News found that pet owners favored John McCain over Barack Obama 42 percent to 37 percent.

McCain has an English springer spaniel, a mutt, two turtles (Cuff and Link), a cat, a ferret, three parakeets and fish. Obama does not have any pets, but, according to the AP article, has promised his daughters a dog win or lose the election.

More promises from politicians.

Maybe Obama needs to pull an October (or sooner) surprise and pick up a puppy — an adorable, cuddly Democratic puppy, maybe a lab. Or two. Who couldn't vote for a lab? Or two?

Remember: Nixon had three dogs while he was in the White House.
