This is overblown – I don’t think many dogs were ever going to vote for a Mormon anyway.

I think the dog owners/lovers will have a major problem with this. Crisis management? Uhm, no. Animal cruelty? Most assuredly. Irish Setters are nervous dogs anyway. (Or at least the ones I’ve seen are.)
I’m glad I hadn’t seriously considered him anyway. He approves of things that I don’t.
July 10, 2007 at 10:47 pm
Ignoring the issue of whether or not this was cruelty (my girlfriend, who is very much a dog person, is adamant that it is, and, you know, dogs do tend to crap a lot when they are frightened), it was really really stupid.
And publicizing it (the story was released by his campaign to show how well he deals with a crisis, for heaven’s sake) was really really really really stupid.
I don’t think I want a President who does really really stupid things.
We’ve already got one of those.
One is enough.
