Ha! Ha!

My 8 year old told me the other day that he hopes McCain would win. I asked him why, and he said “He seems really nice.” I told him that was cool. I didn’t mention to him that his mother and I are voting the other way. I want him to think for himself. In some ways I think my Dad drilled into me to be a Democrat, and I’ve just stayed that way. I want to sway the little guy as little as I can.

Here’s another recent election-related saying by a 5-year-old, my daughter (who can read):

(Background: We had a “Yes on 8″ yard sign, which was stolen, so we taped another sign in an upstairs window. We don’t discuss politics with or in front of our young kids, but she did see us watching the presidential debates.)

“Mom, which one is ’8′: the one with the white hair or the one with the black hair?”

Hey look -- Arizona just became a toss-up state today. I guess I just live in a red neighborhood.

Firing guns at anything has become a disqualifier these days.

Yes but do you have experience firing guns at polar bears?

I’ve got experience firing guns and believe me, that doesn’t qualify me for squat.

The rumor at my kids elementary school is that Obama will make school 10 hours long with no recess if elected. I suppose that is the curse of living in a reddish state like AZ. (I imagine McCain gets to play the boogeyman on the playground in blue states…)

Yes, we certainly wouldn’t want someone with experience firing a gun to be … Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces of the United States.

My son’s friend told me that the reason he doesn’t want McCain to be President is b/c if he dies then Palin would be President and she wants to kill Polar Bears.
