(Sept. 5, 2008): "Pet owners prefer McCain over Obama" (Yahoo News)

[G4Hillary]

The apparent Democratic nominee Barack Obama, on the other hand, doesn't have a pet at home.

The pet-owning public seems to have noticed the difference.

An AP-Yahoo! News poll found that pet owners favor McCain over Obama 42 percent to 37 percent, with dog owners particularly in McCain's corner.

"I think a person who owns a pet is a more compassionate person — caring, giving, trustworthy. I like pet owners," said Janet Taylor of Plymouth, Mass.

Don't the McCains have like 12 Dogs? Obamas got 0 Animals probably because he can't control them.

[Mom4Hillary]

Yeah, my pet's a puma.

That's too funny. But, I agree - I am a pet owner and I prefer John McCain.

2 pumas here (and one independent Cat).... All strong Hillary supporters!

Didn't BHO just get a poodle? And The McCain's have 7 "pups", don't they?

So that would explain the two dogs and three cats I rent a room from.:D:D:D

[Kbentleyis]

THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING!!! It's the compassion... period.

I can see the next headline:

People who breathe prefer McCain!


and those who don't prefer (and vote) for Obama...

16 cats here, er.... I mean 16 PUMA's. All but 2 were dropped by students going home for the summer. They are EXPENSIVE! I need to go on animal welfare. :)

Now you know why I'm a PUMA!

I have two cats. One of them, Colby, is solid black and he supports McCain/Palin. In fact, he was watching McCain last night deliver his speech. Marbles, the elder one, also is in the McCain camp. :D

i have twelve cats, all mccain supporters, since i control the food. all strays at one time. now all mine. and i also prefer mccain. obama's lack of compassion is evident.

i suppose now that the article is out, obama will bring home a zoo for votes. lol he really does not get it.

i feel sorry for whatever animals he gets because as soon as he loses, under the bus they will go. maybe we had better start a shelter for obama's leftovers now, so they will have a home after the election. :D

I have two pit bulls and its a no brainer, McCain/Palin. My orange tabby cat and German shepard mix decided to go along with the pits.

I once read that the Obamas do not want pets. How could a couple such as the Obama's would not allow their girls to have a pet?

[Bad Kitty]

I'm sure pets do too.

[ragdoll]

I agree. I have a super puggle, a very small mixed puppy and two manx cats.

[evolin]

I have a Beagolden. Beagle and golden retreiver combo.
