What's for Dinner?

I like a good hot dog now and then for dinner like a lot of people, but Fido? It has been an amusing dust-up over the last 10 days of "Dog Wars" between the Presidential candidates. First Romney is accused of being an insensitive brute for putting the family pooch on top of the station wagon on the way to the beach house. Then we learn that Obama didn't transport them - he ate them! As Bill Whittle says, Obama may not have been born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but apparently a Golden Lab is a different story.

Actually, the most interesting thing about these stories is not the stories themselves but the fact that Romney clearly has a nimble campaign organization that reacts quickly, hard, and with humor to the bilge that the Democrats routinely spoon out in Presidential campaigns. If this had been the McCain campaign of four years ago the only response to such a charge would have been crickets chirping and McCain would have been a punching bag for several nights for Letterman and Jimmy Kimmel.  Instead, Obama gets to experience equal opportunity in being a punching bag. This promises to be a very interesting - and entertaining - campaign.
