Yesterday the girls came home with the following news:
Abigail: “Mom, I didn’t make student council again. There were two girls and one boy. I think that all the boys voted for the boy and the girl votes got split.”
Sophia: “Mom, I voted for President today. I voted for the other guy. Obama looks too weird. Yeah, the other guy won in the first grade today. Everyone is afraid of Obama.”
Funny that I thought McCain was the one who looks weird. Voldermortish.
It’s a good think we got Palin. She should carry us with the first grade voters and the girl category. Don’t you think?
I’m off to vote. Not that I need to. We know who’s gonna win in Tennessee. We got all kinds of righteous people in this good old fashioned state.
I voted first thing this morning and was happy to see 40 or 50 people ahead of me and about 40 were behind me when I left. >>My kids had a mock election at school yesterday too and it was actually a nice way to discuss the candidates and election with them. With Rach in particular I hadn’t really said anything — but she had some great questions! And it was also a great way to discuss that we don’t follow the crowd or vote for the one who might seem the “coolest” based on what their friends are doing.
Man- I have to get to the poles before the 3 hour line forms. Glad to know the kids at your school know their stuff!
No big surprise to you…>I voted for Barack Obama.>Can’t wait to see the final outcome. This election has been a crazy one with so any people getting involved in the political process. History in the making.>ToOdLeS.ShEiLA
I love that the kids get to vote. My kids actually voted both for seprate canidates.>>How are you feeling? Take care of yourself.
If they had used the kids votes from our school I am sure McCain would have won!
