Answer
Well, this is going to be tough for a couple of reasons.  First, you have to work through your dad's answer.  Second, as someone who has both rabbits and guinea pigs, rabbits are a lot more work.

So, if you do want this rabbit, your best approach would be to educate yourself as much as possible to counter any other arguments your dad would have.

Rabbits need lots of space to be happy.  They need lots of exercise.  And like guinea pigs, have special dietary needs.

A good place to start would be finding the book House Rabbit Handbook.  It has lots of good general information and is something you could share with your dad.
Also, if you haven't been there already, go to www.rabbit.org.  This is one of the best resources for rabbits on the web.

This post on my blog has some good links and information that you need to consider before bringing a rabbit home:

This may not be want you want to hear, but if you arm yourself with some good education, you may be able to talk your dad into it.
