I'm not sure anyone feels politically represented by either a jackass or an elephant, or whatever the hell the mascot for the Independent party is. At first I was thinking maybe everyone's mascot could simply be this lady.

Then I realized, hey, we live in an almost democracy! Let's put it to the people. My agency was gracious enough to back the goofy idea, and a website was born:

politicalcritter.org

Submit soon. Submit often. By the presidential election this November, we'll select the top critters and actually send them to the respective national parties, most likely to the tune of much national party guffawing.

Also, if you like this, tell people. The more, the better.
