In the current online results, Kaine is ahead of Allen by about 184,000 votes as of Thursday morning. The race was expected to be very close, and it was part of a record spending spree in the state that also featured a tight race between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. But an examination of the official voting ballot online shows that there apparently wasn’t a candidate from a known third party listed on the ballot below Kaine and Allen, unlike past years. There also isn’t a third-party candidate listed on the election board website among its election results.

Hank the Cat had been running for the U.S. Senate since last winter as a part of a spoof on the modern election process. He received extended coverage in The Washington Post in February.

Hank even wrote a campaign blog for The Huffington Post in October, praising another cat running for office in Canada, Tuxedo Stan. That was after Hank survived an attack ad launched by a faux pro-dog super PAC.

It might seem silly to vote for a cat...but in Hank's defense, he'd probably make a better senator than George Allen. :lol:

Well, we elect someone who hasn't served in six months and is plea bargaining with the FBI; we elect an 8-time felon; we elect a dead person; and a cat comes in third. I guess that nails it: Americans are the smartest people on planet earth.
 
But really it was it's position on abortion that cost it the race.
 
It was the meow mix incident on youtube that cost him making a large run into second. Plus the United Dog Party of America was getting funneled money from the Think Tank Mice Rulez to swiftboat the cat.
