I just got off the phone from talking with my daughter. She had a funny story to tell me. This evening Sweet Stuff was talking about the presidential campaign – something they had discussed at school today in second grade. Apparently, they only had time to tallk about the Democratic side of the campaign today at school. I’m sure they will talk about the Republican side tomorrow. Anyway, my daughter asked Sweet Stuff which candidate she liked the best, and the answer was “Barack Obama.”

My daughter said that she and her husband both were floored, but wanted to be fair. So they calmly discussed the election and what Sweet Stuff knew about the candidates – they asked her what she thought about McCain. Sweet Stuff replied that Obama was the only one she knew what he looked like. She didn’t know anything about McCain.

So her mom and dad immediately got on the computer and showed her pictures of McCain – and Biden – and Palin. Sweet Stuff was intrigued with Track Palin – because he was going to serve in Iraq like her cousin Josh. To be fair, my daughter told her that Biden’s son was also going to serve in Iraq. Sweet Stuff – being 7-yeaers-old – wanted to know about the children in the families. Trig Palin won the day. Sweet Stuff has a friend who has special needs, and when she learned that Trig also had special needs, she immediately felt an affinity for him. Now she’s a McCain girl. Which only goes to show that more you know about the candidates, the more likely you’ll be for McCain-Palin.

To be on the safe side – we’ll keep lots of photos of McCain around.
