...election, animal voters have already spoken up. They held Mitt Romney to account when Time revealed that in 1983 he had strapped his dog to the roof of his car in a twelve-hour drive from Boston to Ontario (his first excuse that “my dog likes fresh air,” did not go down well with animal voters). And they questioned Mike Huckabee’s judgment when Newsweek alleged that, as Governor of Arkansas, he had intervened to stop an animal cruelty investigation into his son’s hanging and stoning to death...
...good luck--the penny he carries in his pocket or that rubber band strapped around his left wrist.

We might be able to influence or inform people about things they didn't know. But it's up to candidates to get elected. It's not my job to get them elected. And when they lose, I don't take it personally. And Romney was like every other candidate in our field. The reason that we're in this mess is because...
