I'd keep an eye on mine if it would do any good. But, I'm in one of those gerrymandered districts designed to guarantee a seat to a black democrat. My congresscritter, Sheila Jackson Lee is currently on a peace mission to Venezuala, visiting with Hugo Chavez. Hopefully, they'll fall in love, get married, and we'll never have to see her again.

Then, I'll start a write in campaign for my dog Sophie. Sophie's black, so she'll pull most of Ms. Lee-Chavez's constituency. She's got some brown highlights on her paws and face, and she's 3/4's chihuahua, so she'll pull a good bit of the Mexican vote, and she's got a white chest, so she's a lock for the Barack Obama/Michael Jackson fans. She's female, so she'll probably pull in the Hillary crowd. And, she's smarter than any of them. I think she could win...
