Via Yahoo News (Scott Bomboy):
Cat appears to come in
third in Virginia’s U.S. senate race
The battle for the U.S. Senate between
Tim Kaine and
George Allen in Virginia may have been settled in the
litter box instead of the ballot box if the tightly contested election had come
down to about 6,000 votes given to a cat.
It’s entirely possible that third-place
finisher in Virginia is Hank
the Cat, a Maine Coon who ran on a pro-feline, job-creation platform.
.....................................
While having a cat run for the Senate may
seem like a joking matter, a total of more than 6,000 votes in a close election
isn’t.
A future president, Lyndon B. Johnson, won
his first U.S. Senate race in Texas by 27 votes. And we all know how close the
2000 presidential race was in Florida.
.........................................
Matthew O’Leary, the campaign manager for
Hank, tells Constitution Daily that his candidate has 6,832 votes as of
Thursday morning, not counting absentee and provisional ballots.
O’Leary says it is the highest total for a
write-in U.S. Senate candidate in Virginia since 2002, which would likely
indicate that Hank finished third behind Kaine and Allen, when the election
board releases that data.
...........................
Yay, Hank! As a bumpersticker sold by the Hank for Senate campaign says:
My Cat is Smarter Than Your Politician.
