The question that I think in on everybody's minds...

Will Limberbutt McCubbins get into the race in time to make it into the first debates?

Don’t like Clinton or Trump? You can vote for a cat named Limberbutt McCubbins instead.

With barely six weeks to go, a small but still significant percentage of voters in this year’s polarized election season tell pollsters that they’re not sure whether to vote for Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump or a third-party candidate.

They clearly haven’t heard of Limberbutt McCubbins, the “Demo-cat” candidate.

Yes, he really is a feline. And Limberbutt really is running for president of the United States, along with several other four-legged politicians — and at least one crawfish. Their satirical campaigns are at once silly, philanthropic and, it’s not too much of a stretch to say, wry commentaries on the most divisive U.S. election of modern times.
