For Clancy, since he gets antsy if we go too long between polls. BREAKING NEWS- United States deadlocked on sex of Presidential Puppy!!!
(CNN) — Most Americans think President-Elect Barack Obama should buy his girls a new puppy from an animal shelter or pound, but there is no widespread consensus on what kind of dog should be the next occupant of the White Doghouse, according to a new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll.
Two thirds of Americans say the Obamas should adopt a dog from an animal shelter while just 30 percent favor the next first dog coming from a breeder or a pet store, the new poll said.

But the public's advice on what kind of dog to get is widely scattered (more than 70 different breeds were suggested), with Labrador retrievers topping the list with 13 percent.
Nine percent suggested getting a mutt or a mixed breed dog, making that the second-most popular suggestion, along with poodles, also mentioned by 9 percent of the public.
Next on the list were various terrier breeds, followed by German shepherds and golden retrievers.
