The Children have spoken

Interesting tidbit of news that I thought everyone would enjoy. Sarah, Adam, Joey, and everyone else in Early Political Theory heard this, but Weekly Reader just released the results of their mock Presidential Election. I say mock, but the kids usually do a better job of calling the election than Zogby or Gallup. Since 1956, the winner of the Weekly Reader poll has also triumphed in the contest for the White House. Not a bad record at all. 327,000 children across America, ages 9 and up, voted in the poll and Bush received 65% of the vote and Kerry received 33%. The only state that Kerry won was Maryland. I am not sure what that says about the children in Massachusetts, but I am pretty sure they would pick Ortiz for Commander in Chief right now.
