America's political parties need new mascots. [View all]

The donkey and the elephant are way out of date. Also, in tribute to the largest portion of the Earth's covering, I think we should select sea creatures.

For the GOP, I suggest the pufferfish.

For the Democratic Party, I think the blue whale is uniquely appropriate.
