Children Think He’s Ready to Lead
Barack Obama won the Nickelodeon kids vote… barely. 51% to 49%. Am I alone in being a bit surprised by these results? I would have expected a more lopsided victory for Obama by the segment of society known for being distracted by shiny things. I guess children are more racist than we thought.
UPDATE:
Kerry won the Nickelodeon poll 57% to 43%. And we all remember the Kerry landslide.
(thanks to reader Elliot for pointing that out)
(20 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)

WOW. I truly cannot believe that. ‘Ol Linda over there must have been absolutely petrified.
This proves there is hope yet.
Hope. Keep the change.

I’m sure the slight majority of little curtain-climbers are betting they’ll get some rich-people money since they don’t pay taxes. The others like McCain because he looks like Grandpa.

Children are mostly a reflection of their parents… I know I point out every Democrat downfall and Lie to my 12 y/o when we watch stuff on TV and notice it in everyday things. Sometimes though I catch her in a lie and call her a Democrat and then she cries…

I’m guessing that Miley Cyrus or any of the Jonas brothers would have won in a massive landslide had they been added to the ballot.

Oh, yeah, my kids (7 and 9) get the full disclosure on the ways of the liberals. My 7 yo has dubbed them dumbocrats. From the mouths of babes!

2%? Not bad considering Nick’s liberal slant.

Kids vote with their parents. If conservatives have more kids per adult, we’re in trouble.
Did I just get pessimistic based on a Nickelodeon poll?

that’s wierd. Didn’t Kerry beat Bush in that thing by like a billion percent?

Scooter got me to want to do some research. The Nick vote had Kerry win by a ton.
From http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2004-10/21/content_384393.htm
“Nearly 400,000 children and teens voted, and the results were released Wednesday. Kerry received 57 percent of the vote; President Bush got 43 percent.”

Silly Frank. Don’t you know that all the GOOD little Obama supporters were much to busy trying to get their hamsters and guinea pigs registered to vote for the REAL election?

Another poll showed that 2/3rds of the kids who supported Obama are registered to vote in Ohio.

I am willing to make a bet(even though the polls show that Obama and McCain are tied in Ohio) that McCain will take Ohio by at least 60% to Obama’s 40%.

Hell, those kids that voted for Obama are already registered in Chicago.
