Brinkley wants your vote. For governor. Of Alaska. Oh, and
did we mention he's a golden retriever?Yard signs are popping up all over Anchorage for Brinkley, named for newsman David Brinkley, and he's already been on "The Today Show." (Other candidates are barking mad about that kind of exposure.) The political push is the brainchild of owner Ruth Sisk, who started the write-in campaign as a way to raise money for the for her local Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and other dog groups. She's sold $4,000 worth of T-shirts ($20 each), and plans to expand the campaign to Fairbanks and Juneau. Can a campaign commercial be far behind? "The slogan is 'Get off your tail, hit the campaign trail, vote,' " Sisk told Scripps Howard News Service.
Running for office would seem to be a breeze for a dog, but governing? The state Constitution requires that the governor not be younger than 30. Brinkley has only reached 2 -- or 14 in people years.

Hey, Anonymous, I especially love the reason to vote for Brinkley. Wouldn't we be lucky to have more politicians like that?
