[November 13, 2007]  WALPOLE, N.H. (AP) -- Democrat Barack Obama plucked the mouse off the plate, dangled it by its tail and devoured it in one bite -- to the applause of workers at the gourmet chocolate company that crafted the critter.

Candy mice -- white chocolate on the outside with almond ears and ribbon tails -- are a specialty at L.A. Burdick chocolates, where Obama met on Monday with several company employees and other local women to discuss his proposals to help parents balance work and family.

"This poor little mouse," he said, holding up the candy for the cameras. "This is the end of him."
