The Republicans have brought voter fraud charges against ACORN, an organization that recently registered the likes of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.
But, really, I'm not sure why the GOP is so upset about this. The cartoon demographic could be a great source of votes for them! Unlike the liberal Hollywood elite, the old school cartoons do not necessarily lean heavily to the left. In fact, my initial analysis suggests that the party lines are actually split pretty evenly.
Tweetybird - Due to the rise of terrorism, Tweety no longer feels safe and has been living in fear. He likes McCain's experience with national security and strongly supports his aggressive tactics with the War on Terror. Tweety is also worried about the rumors regarding Barack Hussein Obama palling around with terrorists.
Donald Duck - Although he normally dons a sailor suit, Donald Duck actually served in the army during WWII, as documented in his movie "Commando Duck"
(although that could just be a reference to his habit of not wearing any pants). Of course, Donald plans to vote for McCain, a true war hero.
Fred & Wilma Flintstone and
Barney & Betty Rubble - These four are part of the conservative GOP base that was highly energized by the VP pick Sarah Palin. The Flintstones and Rubbles are very excited about voting for a candidate who recognizes the truth that humans and dinosaurs coexisted at the same time.
Cartoons for OBAMA/ BIDEN 
Mickey & Minnie Mouse - The famous duo have publicly endorsed Obama, as evidenced by these popular tees. It's widely assumed that Mickey and Minnie Mouse support Obama because they share the same signature ears.
Homer & Marge Simpson - With her progressive daughter Lisa ardently campaigning for Obama, Marge will surely be swayed to vote Democrat this election.
(She leans Democratic anyway and actually voted twice for Jimmy Carter.) Homer, who works at a nuclear power plant, is happy to hear that Obama's energy plans include expansion of nuclear power. As for the Republican energy plans, Homer isn't quite sure what to make of Palin's talk to promote "nucular"(new-cue-lurr) power. What
does that word mean, anyway? Doh!
Bugs Bunny - His thick Brooklyn accent and obnoxious attitude clearly indicate that Bugs Bunny hails from NYC, a not-so-"pro-America" part of the country. After years of constant carrot-nibbling and "Doc" references, he's eager to get covered by Obama's universal healthcare plan. Additionally, Bugs is very pro-immigration and has been involved in inter-country tunnel-digging between locations such as the US and Mexico.
Felix the Cat - This was a tough choice for Felix the Cat because he really likes McCain for sentimental reasons. They both shared lots of great times together in the roaring '20s. But ultimately, he decided to vote Obama to support a fellow black brother.
Bullwinkle Moose - It should be immediately evident why Bullwinkle Moose is deathly afraid of Sarah Palin. Not only does she hunt moose from a helicopter
(just imagine what she can do from Marine One...), she's also now promoting and glorifying gun violence against his kind with
rap videos.
My preliminary analysis indicates that the cartoon vote is split evenly: 7 votes for McCain/ Palin and 7 votes for Obama/ Biden.
What do you think? Would the cartoon demographic vote Democratic or Republican in the upcoming election?
And I know I missed a slew of characters. Feel free to add your input on which cartoon characters would vote for which ticket!

Cartoon Vote: Analysis UpdatesCharlie Brown - Charlie Brown would feel insecure no matter who wins
(observation by streetphotos). So he's probably one of those still-undecided voters. Good grief! What are you waiting for, Charlie Brown?
Hentai - Hentai characters are not US citizens
(pointed out by Esch99), so they technically can't vote. But if they could vote,
I think they'd vote Democratic to support
pro-choice policies. Accidental pregnancies seem to be a likely
occupational hazard for them. I haven't noticed much protection being
used in their industry...Casper the Ghost - Casper the ghost is also technically unable to vote because he's deceased. But if he could vote, I have a feeling that Casper would lean towards McCain because they share the same skin color: Ghostly White. 
There are more insightful and clever comments from readers that I didn't get a chance to post in this update. They're all great! KEEP 'EM COMING, guys!

hentai?
Wow. This could be the wittiest political commentary between now and the election.
btw, hentai characters aren't US citizens, so they can't vote.
@Yosho - I was looking forward to clever and entertaining comments from my (normally) clever and entertaining readers. And you reply with "Hentai"...?! Argh, I'm gonna strangle you!
hahaha good job sherry!
@esch99 - @Yosho - Esch99 is right. Hentai characters can't vote because they're Japanese. But if they could vote, I think they'd vote Democratic to support pro-choice policies. (Accidental pregnancies seem to be a likely occupational hazard for them. I haven't noticed much protection being used in their industry...)
@spiritedsherry - haha, it was the first thing i thought of when you asked us to input our favorite cartoon :p
wooooooooooooo.
I'm a republican (well, California style republican--fiscally conservative but socially liberal), but I'm still gonna rec this, hahahaha! Nice job.
You could also use Betty Boop for Sara Palin (oversexualized character) and Prince Valiant for Obama (since, you know, he's the man who's supposed to rescue us all).
Nice choices and good commentary! : )
@franksabunch - Wow, was it *that* blatantly obvious that I'm a Democrat? Haha. I tried to make jabs at both sides, but I guess it's just easier to make fun of McCain & Palin.
My sense of humor can be, well, off-color at times. So I run these sensitive posts by my husband, who is also a "California-style" Republican and a Christian. If he laughs (which he did at both the last post re: gay marriage joke and this political cartoon post), then the posts are approved for going live!
Whimpy from Popeye -- As a victim of the credit crunch, he's hedging his bets that Obama will fix the situation so he can get back to 'paying you Tuesday for a hamburger today'
Richie Rich -- Duh!...Wonder who this rich asshole is voting for?!
Casper the Friendly Ghost -- Can't vote be cause he's dead.
The Peanuts Gang -- Charlie Brown will still feel insecure no matter who wins. The rest are either under-aged or animals.
so witty and creative as usual, sherry! i'm rec'ing this.
thought hard about which one was my fave, and i have to say it's between the flintstones and bugs. =)
Obama got my vote when when he won over Bugs Bunny = ) But I'm not from the US...
This is a great post! I wonder who the Thundercats would vote for? *Snarf, snarf!*
Ridiculously funny and clever!!! Love it-- I'm definitely going to be sharing this with friends :)
@Jojo_b2 - @Liera - @niez_cho - @petitetokyo - Thanks everyone! I'm so glad you guys are enjoying the post, because I seriously had a blast thinking it up.
@streetphotos - Haha, great insights. I also think Charlie Brown would be one of those still-undecided voters.
what party does woody woodpecker lean towards?
entertaining post, btw...
@five11nation - Anybody that likes to "peck wood" is either a Democrat or Mark Foley. Great post!
@streetphotos - re: Casper - the dead trend towards voting democratic. Nice job on the rest..
@esch99 - I'm not so sure about that... Casper might lean towards McCain because they share the same skin color: Ghostly White
haha
Actually, considering Donald Duck is (at least partially) responsible for Democrats' implementation of paycheck deductions for income taxes, I'm not sure I would pin him as a Republican spokesduck.
Just sayin'.
This is amazing.
I legitimately laughed out loud at the Flinstones.
That's awesome.
However, Donald Duck slightly resembles a certain Democratic Congressman from Massachusetts...
This is brilliantly hilarious. Not sure if this counts, but how about comic book characters?
