This is a joke? Right?

From the Dispatch blog

Non-humans can't vote in the 15th Congressional District -- or anywhere else -- but that isn't stopping congressional candidate Mary Jo Kilroy from announcing the support of central Ohio pets.

Kilroy, a Democratic Franklin County commissioner, this morning announced the endorsement of a variety of cats and dogs, as well as a lizard and two horses. She is running against state Sen. Steve Stivers, a Republican, and independent Don Elijah Eckhart for the seat representing western Franklin County and all of Madison and Union counties.

The press release announcing a new web site, PetsForKilroy.com, quoted a dog and a cat.

The press release noted that Kilroy has supported animal groups such as the Capitol Area Humane Society and has advocated for more adoptions at the Franklin County Animal Shelter.

"We launched this site because of Mary Jo's deep commitment of working with all sides, Democrats, Republicans and if need be, cats and dogs, to get things done for Central Ohio," Kilroy's campaign said in a quote attributed to a cat named Ella.

I guess that will pretty much seal up the lunatic vote for the democrats.
