We get to the table where the lady is checking IDs and he says to the lady.."is this where you vote for Kerry?" everyone had a big laugh.

1. Thank you for posting this.
I love how they're so genuine at that age. Kind of curious as to what my 7-yr-old will say when I go...

Welcome to DU!

2. cute - when I ask my 20 month old daugher...
When I ask her, "Who do you want for President?" she responds with "Kerry" (or, more accurately, "Kay wee")

3. Cute!
Four years ago, during the Republican convention I was watching W's speech (and most likely throwing things at the TV). My then-five-year-old daughter went to bed and asked me what was on TV I said I was watching a speech and asked her "you know who George W. Bush is, right?" expecting her to say "the governor of Texas." Nope. She very quickly and confidently answered: "An IDIOT." Smart girl.

She's still smart. It is kind of scary to think that she and one of her friends (they had quite a conversation going in the back of my minivan the other day) know more about what is happening in Iraq than many of these undecided voters.

My son asked me this morning if * had ever done anything good and the best I could come up with is that he has a pet dog.
