Kids Pick Kerry to Be the Next President

[ps1074]

NEW YORK - Kid power! Democrat John Kerry (news - web sites) is the winner, and the rest of the country should pay attention because the vote on Nickelodeon's Web site has correctly chosen the president of the United States in the past four elections.

Nearly 400,000 children and teens voted, and the results were released Wednesday. Kerry received 57 percent of the vote; President Bush (news - web sites) got 43 percent.

1. Great!

Every little boost helps. I do hope their is some TV coverage of this.

You KNOW it would be perpetually hyped had Bush won.

2. FANTASTIC

Amazingly enough, Nickelodeon's survey has accurately predicted the next president every year since 1988.

10. I think my nephew was one of them!

Both his parents are repukes. I sent him a KIDS FOR KERRY button, and his dad said he isn't allowed to wear it in public - something about using kids in an inappropriate way. He's 11, and asked me lots of questions about Democrats this summer. I told him Repubs are worried about money, dems worry about people. He proudly turned to my brother and said "I'm a Democrat!"
