I've been thinking a lot lately.  Well, a lot since last Friday, anyway.  Which is a lot of thinking for a Whigle.  But I guess I'll be needing the practice, since YES!  It's official.  I'm running for Congress.

I've searched my soul, and this is what I've found:  I'm perfect!  Who wouldn't want me to represent them?

But for all you skeptics, here are some more reasons I've decided to run for Congress.

1.  As far as I can tell, there are no dogs in Congress.

2.  The Whigle party (more on this later) is sadly underrepresented.

3.  I have bipartisan appeal!

4.  I'm really good looking.  I look great in pictures.  I'll kiss babies if I have to.

5.  My CHICKEN said I should.

6.  Hardly anyone in Congress wears HOT PANTS.

7.  I have issues...

I'm thinking about asking Little Bit to be my campaign manager.

She is good at the PR thing.  I might also get some sympathy votes for hiring a cancer dog.  Ha!  Personally I think she's faking it 'cause she seems fine to me and she gets lots of treats and can sleep on the bed.  But if it gets me votes, I'm hip to that.  Also I get even-stevens treats out of the deal.

I'll be introducing my running platform soon.  I guess I'll be needing new shoes for that....
