When I asked my three-year old daughter, “Should I vote for Barack Obama or John McCain?” She unequivocally responded, “John McCain.” When I asked her again (this time I switched the order of the names thinking that influenced her response) to make sure I heard correctly, she seemed annoyed that I would question her choice. “JOHN MCCAIN!” she snapped back.
I’m not sure why she supports John McCain. His policies do not necessarily promise more “Dora,” candy, or ice cream for toddlers. Regardless, my politically astute toddler (afterall, she is her father’s daughter) seems set in her ways and may cause division in our household.

Man, I wasn’t expecting to hear a story like this until she comes home for Thanksgiving dinner in her freshman year of college. Or maybe high school.
great story… hehe
Astute toddler indeed. Thanks for the great story. At eight our son was inconsolable when he discovered he wouldn’t be allowed to vote (he had already made up his mind, and just assumed this was something that everyone took part in). We overheard him giving a younger child a remarkably accurate thumbnail sketch of the major parties and their policy platforms. True universal franchise could bring some interesting results! AND maybe bring some political accountability for the way we treat our most vulnerable citizens.
