How important are early primates to the 08 campaign?

I mean having elected a chimp as Potus and a gorilla as VP, isn't it time for a howler or something?

14. Yessss! Go Lucy!

Upright movement, small but adequate brain capacity, possibly able to use tools (beyond chainsaws). Hmmm, a definite improvement!

8. I'm ready for something with opposable toes and a prehensile tail

If we'd have a nominee like that we'd be up two opposables to every one THEY have.

11. Cats just can't swing. I'm not voting for anything that can't swing

And I don't care if this IS the first time a puudee cat has a real chance.

19. Early as opposed to late primates?

Maybe late primates are more mature.

20. Well, we've seen what electing chimps and gorillas results in...

I was considering the possibility that those 2 later primates might represent degenerate species...and therefore wondering if earlier primates might not still have characteristics that would serve the nation better.
