WASHINGTON (AP) - If the presidential candidates were living the life of their idle dreams, Rudy Giuliani would be chattering in the announcer's booth at Yankee Stadium while Bill Richardson plays center field.

Barack Obama and Joe Biden would be designing houses and Sam Brownback tilling the fields back in Kansas.

By day - actually, by night, too - the candidates are politicians. It is what they do and a huge piece of who they are. But they have a personal side, too.

They have home tasks that need tending; one still must take his Christmas lights down. They have television to watch on the fly, tunes to help them through their day, and even the occasional wish to step into a whole new skin.

They have hidden talents, some of them odd. One is a hotshot poker player and one is a celebrity impersonator.

John McCain has pets, does he ever. At last count, 22 of them, including turtles Cuff and Link.

1. I find that hard to believe that McCain has so many pets!

I usually associated pet owners with people that have big hearts.
And that's not something I associate with him.

Interesting reading for a Sunday afternoon.

Thanks for posting :)
