I thought of saluki for Obama, too - smart, competitive, highly goal-driven. Or maybe a Pharoah Hound. Definitely a sighthound, I think. For Hillary, I think a terrier - Cairn, maybe. Friendly, self-possessed, and tough, occasionally a bit snappish. :) (Border collie works, too...) (And I agree on McCain - Pit all the way.) How funny!

I see him as a Shepherd/Lab mix - popular, common, smart, funny, amiable, approachable.

I don't see Hillary as a Poodle, though; maybe one of the working breeds. I instantly thought of Obama as a sighthound, although I can’t decide which one.

Romney is a petshop toy chihuahua reject - impossible to housebreak, nervous, thinking he's bigger than he is, but definitely more likely to have the squirts than actually do anything productive. Should never have been bred in the first place, but I'm sure somebody out there loves him. Ron Paul is a Min-Pin. Lots of barking and looks ferocious when out of scale. I see Clinton more as a poodle. Popular, willing to carve a better looking dog out of fur, but at the heart still remembers the original purpose of the breed. And poodles are very popular winners of class, and that's why she was picked- groomed to win. I see Obama as an borzoi, saluki, or afghan hound- all grace, lanky, and oh my can he run.
