Zoo's presidential election
美动物园也搞'总统选举'

As Barack Obama and Mitt Romney compete fiercely in the presidential race, the Alaska Zoo is conducting a "presidential election" between Ahpun the polar bear and Denali the gray wolf in a fundraising and promotion effort, AP reported. The winner will claim the zoo's presidency, according to development director Eileen Floyd. The zoo election will follow the same timeline as the national race.
据美联社报道，在奥巴马与罗姆尼为美国总统大选激战正酣的时候，阿拉斯加动物园应景推出了动物园"总统选举"进行募捐和宣传，两名"总统候选人"分别是北极熊阿奔和灰狼迪纳利。动物园发展主任艾琳·佛洛伊德表示获胜的一方将成为"动物园总统"。据悉，此次"选举"的进程同美国总统大选进程是统一的。

['选情'分析]
The early favorite would appear to be Ahpun, given her iconic status as monarch of the Arctic and the millions in free publicity from Coca-Cola commercials. Ahpun, an orphaned polar bear, has been at the zoo since she was 3 months old. She's liable to receive the sympathy vote. Denali, on the other hand, is fighting stereotypes promoted by the likes of Little Red Riding Hood and The Three Little Pigs.
"选战"初期估计阿奔会更被看好，它不仅是北极的霸主，而且可口可乐的广告更是给它做了价值数百万的免费宣传。且阿奔是个孤儿，从3个月大起就被动物园收养，容易赢得同情票。而灰狼迪纳利则需要与《小红帽》和《三只小猪》等作品中刻画的模式化形象做斗争。
