Your Dog A Repub? My Cat’s A Demo

Statistically,http://media.spokesman.com/photos/2010/10/13/mug-stevecrump.jpg a Republican is far more likely to be a dog owner than a Democrat. As a political independent, I take strong exception. None of my dogs — and I have three — has ever voted for a Republican. I know because Ichecked their paw prints. Yet according to the BBC, 33 percent of American dog owners identify themselves as Republican, whereas only 28 percent of cat owners lean to the right. This is a slander and canard, related to the fact that cat owners are perceived as being smarter than dog owners/Steve Crump, Twin Falls Times-News. More here.

Question: Does this finding fit your situation? Are you a Republican who owns a dog? Or A Democrat who owns a cat? Who does your pet support in the 1st Congressional District race?
