This was a lot of fun and I enjoyed it.

That said, birds are smart enough not to have to vote at all. And yet, we still call them "birdbrains."

Thanks for the post. It was very clever and I got a laugh out of it. Good comments too.

Purple Martin:

Vote for: Giuliani

Is red on foreign policy and law enforcement, but blue on gay rights and abortion rights--hence the purple color. Has been absent from primary states this winter, but spotted in Florida.

How about Bald Eagle. This is Steven Colbert as a write-in candidate.

Very clever--and, as much as I seek nature as an escape from the politics of everyday life...laughter is good for us all.

How about the whooping crane for Giuliani? Lives up north most of the time, but skips all the states and heads down to Florida when it's time to get moving!

American bittern = John Edwards, who's also hard to see thanks to the media's ignoring him for flashier birds.

Sonicfrog, of course parrots are widely considered among the smartest of birds--which may swing them to Romney as well!

Most in the Psittacine family would have to vote for Romney. The African Grays especially can appreciate his ability to learn new words and phrases to please his owners.

I think Ron Paul is pulling voters in from all those demographics. Maybe Painted Bunting would go for Paul?

2008-01-24T21:47:00.000-05:00

Brilliant!

I'm voting for a Painted Bunting. A little bit Democrat, a touch Republican, a smattering of the Green party and just a touch of Libertarian!

Now, just who would be the human equivalent?

Birds are much smarter than people. They would all vote "NO".

2008-01-24T15:26:00.000-05:00

Patrick, I had the colors mixed up but that's fixed. And I did find a vote for Hillary. But still no vote for Giuliani.

2008-01-24T15:09:00.000-05:00

I think you got the colors right, no?

I guess no bird votes for Hillary.

Thanks, fixed it. Perhaps it was too many years growing up in a Republican household where Red=Communist=Democrat!

2008-01-24T14:46:00.000-05:00

I believe you got the representation of the colors mixed up (Blue=Democrats, Red=Republicans).
