This election has gotten the attention of people all across the nation, in a way unlike anything ever witnessed. Whether one is a McCain supporter or Obama supporter, both sides are very passionate and believe that they are correct in their reason(s) for supporting the candidate of their choice. More importantly, people are involved in the political process now more than ever before. It is a historic election, and the outcome will have an impact on America for years to come. The punditry during this election in itself has become a source of entertainment, so much so, that ratings of cable news shows such as the O'Reilly Factor are in the millions whilst ratings dwindle for many television shows. The high ratings on news circuits can be accounted for by the concerns that all Americans harbor; they are seeking as much information on these candidates as possible by way of the mainstream media. The rhetoric flying around during this election season certainly has been a source of both entertainment and outrage.

According to the AP, “If the presidential election goes to the dogs, John McCain is looking like best in show.” According to recent polls John McCain leads Barack Obama among pet owners by 43 percent to 34 percent for dog owners and 41 percent to 38 percent for cat owners. Conversely, another poll found that among people who don't have pets, Obama leads McCain 48 percent to 34 percent. Interesting, wouldn’t you agree?  Factors such as race and marital status also were taken into account for the differences in the poll numbers. John McCain is said to own 14 pets while Obama owns none.
