The Political Process
October 31st, 2008With the election a few days away, I thought I’d report on the campaign from the view point of an eight-year-old.
- After watching a bit of the first debate: “McCain doesn’t talk very well and he wants the war to keep going.”
- While noticing a lot of McCain signs in our neighborhood: “Why would ANYONE vote for McCain?”
- Spotting an Obama sign: “Good choice!”
- Wondering aloud: “Do people CHOOSE to be Republicans?”
- Needling me: “What would you do if I became a Republican?”
- Noticing a McCain sign in her librarian’s yard: “Well, THAT’s disappointing.”
- While trick-or-treating: “I HOPE Obama wins.”
