Alaska Zoo holding its own presidential election

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - It’s a race that folks probably haven’t been dialed into as much as some of the other elections happening this year: President of the Animals at the Alaska Zoo. So far, two candidates are running intense campaigns to be announced the winner.

The favored candidate so far is Izzy, a massive brown bear running in his first election. He’s trailed by petting zoo hen, Squishy....

Oh, it's Izzy all the way for me!  I remember when he was just a wee lad in short pants, all 500 lbs soaking wet.

Now he's grown into the role of King of the Zoo quite well, although he admits he can dial it back a smidgen to being a mere "president".  It's sad that Binky has gone to the Great Ice Floe in the Sky, he would do anything to get a leg up on his competition.

I remember that.

We were rooting for Binky.  Haha

Binky was one of a kind.

I bought my wife a pair of earrings, they were carved ivory bears with a little silver tennis shoe hanging from the mouth.

Lets be fair. Put them both in a 12x12 cage, don't feed them for a few days and whoever comes out is the winner.

Y'know that's not a bad selection process for ALL of our elections.
