Doggy wars

Mohr says she can't forgive Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney for making his dog ride on top of the car during a 1983 family trip to Canada. But many dog owners feel the whole doggone issue is a distraction. (AP Photo/Sniff Pet Candles)

Mommy Wars give way to Doggy Wars in Twitterverse

NEW YORK -- So let's get all the puns out of the way, shall we? It's the issue with legs -- four of them. The doggone thing won't go away. Has the presidential race just gone to the dogs? Or are we simply in those dog days between the primary season and the start of the general election?

Whatever it is, the political Mommy Wars seem to have given way this week, at least temporarily, to the Doggy Wars, with an effort by supporters of both Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama to gain points with the Doggy Vote. That's dog owners, not the dogs themselves -- at least for now.
