Two baby marmosets, who made their debut at the Blank Park Zoo on Monday, have been named George and John — for President George W. Bush (news - web sites) and his Democratic challenger, Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites).

"We wanted to find a unique way to commemorate the times the presidential candidates monkeyed around in Iowa," quipped Terry Rich, chief executive officer at the zoo.

"This has been a wild campaign," he added.

The tiny monkeys, born eight weeks ago, are twins — not that uncommon in marmosets, Rich said. They were kept under close watch until deemed healthy enough to put on exhibit — which just happened to fall on the eve of Tuesday's election.
