Hank the cat is running for the U.S. Senate. The 9-year-old moggy is hoping to claim a seat in the state of Virginia. It shouldn’t matter that he’s a cat. If he gets the votes needed…
OK, so this is a mock campaign and Hank will never make it to the Senate. Unless he gets taken for a look around by his owner. Which is unlikely.
I support jokey campaigns such as this. They help bring politics down to earth, and actually can get people interested in the real fight going on between parties and ideals.
After all, it could be argued that the U.S. Presidential Election has been turned into a joke itself by the lack of viable contenders put up by the Republican Party.
