Obama Losing Key Demo: Dogs
Who should I vote for, Rex?
In perhaps one of the most important markers of a candidate’s strength, Obama is losing to McCain. A poll, yes another one, measured how pet owners are coming down on this election.
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. The Kibble-and-Bits voter demographic, like Soccer Moms, NASCAR Dads, and Jihadi Immigrants before them, are positioned to swing complete elections. Why exactly, I am not sure. But it sure makes this poll seem relevant.
The reason for the gap could be that many WASPS, whether pioneers of gentrification or suburban gated-types, have dogs to protect themselves from men on Obama’s side of the phenotypical spectrum.
Or it could be that Barack Obama, unlike McCain, does not have a pet at home. This gives him another check in the undercover Muslim column.
