FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. -- Buff the mayoral candidate was trying to sniff-out votes. But he won't be raising his right paw to take the oath of office.
Buff the dog was a write-in candidate in the race for mayor in Williams, Ariz.
Sitting Mayor Ken Edes, the only candidate on the actual ballot, easily won re-election.
Buff and the other write-in candidates did manage to get about one-quarter of the votes. Buff ran on a platform of friendliness and honesty.
Buff or Hillary?
Buff by a landslide.
That's no job for a dog. Loyalty, friendliness, devotion to duty. Nope. Those qualities do not fit the job description.
(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")
That's what he claimed. He actually had a secret agenda to cut funding to the animal control department.

Failing that, we need "Snoopy in the White House, Mrs. Karl's [bread] in the Breadbox!" (Insider Wisconsin Joke)
Ping....
Doggie Pingable?
Mason For Mayor?
In light of the results, a claim of voter fraud that "the dog ate my ballots" was dismissed...
