The Candidate is a Dog!

No it's not an opinion on the Presidential Race, it's about the Mayoral Race going on in Rabbit Hash KY!

Border collie on ballot in northern Ky. town
RABBIT HASH, Ky. --
Following the death of its mayor, the small northern Kentucky town of Rabbit Hash is preparing to elect a new leader.

The only candidate so far is a border collie named Lucy Lou.

The situation isn't unusual for the Boone County town. The former mayor was a black labrador retriever named Junior Cochran (pictured, right), who died May 17 after serving since 2004.
The Kentucky Enquirer reported on its Web site Thursday that the Rabbit Hash Historical Society has scheduled voting to begin Aug. 31 and end Nov. 4, with voters paying $1 per vote. Proceeds benefit the historical society. According to the Web site candidates for the office may be humans or animals but not ducks or geese. Read the news here. Get all the election info here.
