Vote Basset Campaign Backs Barack Obama!!!

In a stunning announcement from the Meal Ticket campaign today, Hoss Da Boss has formally ended his campaign for president and stated that he is now throwing all his bones behind Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama and his running mate Joe Biden!

Hoss Da Boss tells us "we have been recently informed that we could not make it onto ballots in any of the states because we were not hooman. Talk about discrimination" Hoss added "since the republicans have a dog running on their ticket, I thought it was only fair to help Senator Obama out with a little support from the canine community". Da Boss also said "bring on the pit bull" and "you won't see any lipstick on me..." further adding "...unless I get into mom's cosmetics case again". Hoss Da Boss also reached out to all of his pawstituents asking them to throw their bones behind Barack Obama and Joe Biden in the upcoming election following that up with a big Arrrrooooooooooooo to all those who supported him in his campaign.

Who can resist these eyes?

The only white stuff you'll ever find on my nose is snow.

Some days I do so much, I wish I could fly.

If you don't vote for me. You don't have a heart!	Please, please, please vote for me!	Some days you just gotta shake it off.
Humpf. Well, if your not going to vote for me.. Im Just going to have to pout.		Hey, even a hard working basset hound needs some rest after a tough day of vote getting.

Meet My Running Mates
	Fluffer D. Cat Although some days I think he might hit the nip a little too much. Fluffer D. Cat is one standup kinda feline. And it takes a lot for me to say that, being a basset hound and all! This cat will make a great VP and you won't see him shooting anyone in the face, considering he can't hold a gun. But, if your not careful, and stick your nose in his butt one too many times. He might just bite you.

	Sir Mooches A Lot While Moocher as we like to call him, still doesn't like me all that much. He can be all soft and cudly when he needs to be. But watch out, this feline has a mean and vicious side. What better qualities could a basset ask for in his choice for Secretary of State.
