A 12 Vote Win

November 4th, 2008 at 09:44 pm

Just felt like sharing this little tidbit.

My oldest daughter's school voted for President today in a mock election. My daughter was a poll worker for one half hour, too.

The result...Obama beat McCain by 12 votes. Talk about close!!

    My DD's high school also had a mock election and Obama won, too. And it was very close.

    It kind of surprised me because there are more Republicans in my neighborhood.

    In DD's school, the Janitor running for president beat a duck by 27 votes.

    Wow.

    Maismom - Obama won at our school with like 75% votes. I Was shocked too - our neighborhood is SO Republican. Well, the people I know. LOL.

    Swimgirl - didn't you say you were from Davis? The voting shows it - hehe.

    A kindergarten student in my family said the kids were talking about the election with other four and five year olds and a little girl said she was "voting" for Obama. Our little guy said, "Well, I'm a Republican, and I'm voting for McCain!" I don't think most of us had a clue who was running when we were that age.

    Nance - Cute.

    BM (5) told us he voted for Obama. No doubt because it's all his grandma can talk about (she is VERY pro Obama and volunteered for his campaign).

    I think the adults are talking about this election more than others, and the kids are picking up on it.

    I didn't hear about a mock election at my DS's school. Then again, we live in a congressional district where the incumbent regularly enjoys 85% of the vote, so no nailbiting anticipation here.
