Election

So I am not sure how I feel about the new President, I guess I will reserve judgement for the coming months. However, my kids thought that it was awesome. Both the boys wanted to stay up to see who won. They had an election in theirs classes yesterday, and both the boys voted for McCain. When I went to pick them up Alex told me why he picked McCain, He said while he was voting another boy leaned over and said "you should vote for McCain, because Obama is just going to get shot if he is elected". I was so shocked, seriously this is a fourth grader. So then we had to sit down and talk about what was really going on, by the end of the talk Austin changed his mind and said that he wanted Obama, and Alex still wanted McCain. I thought that it was really cool that they were both interested in the election, so I let them stay up to see who would win.
