Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Also, Kristin, I don't know if that it your real last name or whether you want it up there, but I didn't know we had the same real lastname, if it is!Oops! I didn't mean to put it up, and it's now been edited. And yes, it was my real last name. My sistah!
Awww
I don't think Annabel really knows what a president is. It's not like I've given her any chance to be exposed to sound or images of the existing one, given how fast I lunge for the remote when Bush appears on anything other than TDS for mockery.
Timelies all!
~ma to all who need it.
I voted in the sixth grade in a curriculum called KidsVote -- I don't remember who I voted for.
My earliest memory of presidential politics is of the '76 election. We had an in-school election. I think Carter won by a small margin.
I don't know why I remember that, but not Nixon. The only Nixon memories I have are the SNL versions of him.
Ooh. Check out the color scheme of this map. I liked it better when the colors were a convenient tool for marking maps and not necessarily a party affiliation.
Her 10-year-old is all about Obama now, but her 4-year-old came away from the apprearance with the conviction that CARLOS is running for president. He is a firm supporter, by the way.
Ha!
I vividly remember the elections when I was 6 and 10 -- when I was 6 I was mostly just freaked out about Reagan, but when I was 10 I was really really into it.
I taught the KidsVote curriculum one year. 2000. That was a sad year.
I made a speech in favor of Carter in my 4th grade class in 1980, but by 1984 the local conservatism had sunk in and I was very pro-Reagan.
In 1992 when I could finally vote I waffled forever because I liked Clinton better and agreed with him on more issues but had picked up the attitude that being a Republican was practically a requirement of my faith.
1994 I started splitting my tickets. The government shutdown in 1995 is what finally nudged me over the line into favoring Democrats, and the 2000 election turned me into a yellow-dog Dem.
I was 8 when Reagan was elected. I remember making fun of his name. SOmething about Ronald McDonald.

I remember doing a mock election in grade school and being one of the few kids who voted for Carter. I think they made us stand outside in the rain or something after.
how's Noah?
