Obama Dog Update:
In his first media conference yesterday, President-elect Barack Obama spoke on getting a dog. He said it is a "major issue."

He said his preference is a shelter dog. (Yah! Willamena's advice must have crossed his desk.) Someone from Illinois did vote in her poll below.

However, since his oldest daughter has allergies, he said the criteria for his selection is that the dog be hypoallergenic.

With a shelter dog, you really never know what you are going to get, much less can be sure it's hypoallergenic.

Obama said "but obviously a lot of shelter dogs are mutts, like me."

So I guess we'll have to re-do the poll of hypoallergenic dogs.
