Polymath David Marshall has a timely update on a key
voting bock:
However, this runs the risk of sampling bias. As both
Michael Barone and Karl Rove have repeatedly pointed out, dogs reflect a very
different demographic niche than cats. And that’s based on the further fact,
documented long ago by Cornelius Van Til, that dogs and cats have radically divergent
worldviews:
Nevertheless, Marshall’s polling data is still encouraging
news for Romney. Dogs naturally tend to be blindly loyal Nanny statists. They have a
plantation mentality. They live for scraps and handouts from their “master.” Unquestioning allegiance.
By contrast, cats tend to be natural libertarians.
Independent. Hunt for their own food.
To be sure, we need to guard against hasty
generalizations. On the one hand, some feline voters, like Persians, play into
the stereotype of pampered pussies while some canine voters, like Shelties, are
natural-born leaders.
So if even canine voters are breaking for Romney, we can
expect most feline voters to cast their vote for Romney as well.
Needless to say, Ann Romney has cornered the market on the
equine vote.
