1. Interesting...

When my daughter participated in this vote, she didn't choose Dukakis because she thought he looked too much like Mr. Rogers... and Mr. Rogers was too nice to be president.
The logic of children... makes you go hhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

whoopity-shit.

Kids will buy whatever someone who looks like an authority figure tells them.

3. And my 12 year old daughter

said she would vote for Kerry over Clark because "Jack Black rocks and Madonna sucks."

The wisdom of children.

Note to self: spend more time with your kids so the media doesn't shape their views and opinions.
