Fellow canines and companions, it is my duty to inform you that none of the Canine Party 2008 candidates were able to gather enough Electoral votes on November 4th to defeat the Donkey and Elephant party candidates. As a result, the Donkey candidate and human person, Senator Barack H. Obama, will become the next President of the United States.
I have personally sent President-Elect Obama an email offering our congratulations and our willingness to reach a paw across the species aisle to help bring about REAL change during his term and beyond.
Reports from the various Canine Party 2008 campaigns indicate that, in the true canine spirit, all Canine candidates are taking the loss in stride and have decided just to Keep On Wagging!.
Djembe the Dog was reported to have peed on an Obama\Biden 2008 poster on the corner near his home, but all indications are that it was not a personal attack on the President-Elect nor a comment on the election’s outcome. Rather, it appears he just smelled another dog’s scent and well… a dog’s gotta do what a dog’s gotta do.
Rusty was seen chasing squirrels outside his campaign headquarters early this morning and Tuffy the Chihuahua was seen wearing a stylish, although tiny, doggie ringer shirt. Tuffy was also said to be shaking nervously. (not really I just like to mess with the little ones….)
As for me, Max the Golden Retriever, I went to the beach this morning and chased a tennis ball… I will be taking a couple of days off to reflect on the campaign before beginning my next canine cause.
I would like to thank the Canine Party 2008 candidate, their human companions and most importantly our countless supporters for all that you’ve done during this campaign. Although we were not able to bring about the REAL change we were hoping for we certainly were able to raise awareness.
We wish the best for the new President-Elect and the newly elected members of the Donkey controlled Senate and House of Representatives.
God, or whatever higher power or not so higher power you may or may not believe in, Bless America!
Max the Golden Retriever
They can give it another try in four years. I understand the Obamas are getting a dog.
Maybe they can buddy up to him and get close the president. Its not what you know, Its who you know.
