"…Even our dogs and cats have learned that elections matter…”

“Look at the shirt Teddy Hilton is wearing…it says BARK OBAMA….how cute is that? “
- Perez Hilton, July 2008
NEW YORK – Everyone from the highly-paid punditry to the average voter agrees that it’s a flat-out dogfight for the U.S. Presidency, from here to Election Day. But as the votes of women, the working class and America’s emerging minorities are watched more closely than ever before, what of our country’s 72 million pet dogs?
For the first time, that under-served ch’wing vote will have a chance to declare its political pawsition on www.PetsVote.com. As the thrilling party primaries give way to the summertime political conventions, leading to the November 2008 national election, Americans face the gnawing question: “Which major-party candidate will take up residence in the White House...and which of them will be left in the doghouse?”
From now through the November conclusion of the U.S. Presidential campaign, New York-based company Psychedelic Fur™ will be tracking the pupular vote for JOHN McCANINE and BARK OBAMA online at www.PetsVote.com, updated daily.
Dog lovers can also register their votes through a exclusive line of adorable pet tees and accessories by Psychedelic Fur ™, emblazoned with official campaign-style logos supporting BARK OBAMA and JOHN McCANINE – a declaration of your pup’s faith in our great American electoral system, as well as your warm and fuzzy feelings for the big dog who’ll be running the country, come next January. The PetsVote.com tally will be derived from the running total of orders for the items of each candidate. Over the years, consumer goods with the names of Presidential candidates have at times been surprisingly predictive of actual election outcomes.
A portion of the proceeds from all sales will benefit NORTH SHORE ANIMAL LEAGUE AMERICA, the largest no-kill animal adoption and rescue organization in the world. The PETS VOTE BARK OBAMA and JOHN McCANINE line will launch with limited edition tee-shirts for each candidate. Collars, water dishes and more will follow.
Who’s the top dog of Election 2008? JOHN McCANINE or BARK OBAMA?
