An AP-Yahoo News poll revealed that pet owners favor McCain over Obama 42 percent to 37 percent, with dog owners particularly barking and lifting their legs at Obama, who, unlike the Republican candidate, does not own a pet. Pet owners appear to feel more admiration for other pet owners, apparently overlooking that George W. Bush shows more feeling for his dog, Barney, than he does for the returning war veterans or for those who didn't return.

McCain is also the favorite of white Americans over the age of 65. It's being theorized that we are more prone to voting for people with whom we have something in common. Given this, we are likely to learn from future polls that McCain also fares fare better with:

-Men married to plastic-looking heiresses with huge balances on their credit cards

-Surge supporters

-People who'd rather use a teleprompter than speak off the cuff

-Type A personalities in need of anger management
