Obama Wins "Kids Pick the President" Vote
Oct 30, 2008

Obama Wins "Kids Pick the President" Vote

Kids of America, you have spoken millions of you, in fact.

You've made your choice in Nick News' "Kids Pick the President" vote.

And with all 2.2 million online votes counted, the winner is Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.

Senator Obama got 51% of the vote in our election.

Republican presidential nominee John McCain got 49% percent.

The election not only generated a huge number of votes way more than four years ago.

It has also generated a lot of online discussion on our website.

"I think Obama should be president because he is going to try to stop the war, lower tax prices and help the economy," said one of the Obama supporters.

"Obama will lower the gas prices and taxes and also he would give money to the poor and middle class like us," said another.

Not everyone agreed.

"I think Obama is not right for president and shouldn't even be a candidate," one person said.

"McCain should win because he has more experience than Obama," said one of the McCain supporters. "And McCain is a war hero."

"I'm going for McCain because he actually has experience in war unlike Obama," said another. "And I believe that pulling our troops out (of Iraq) now will result in disaster."

But another person wrote, "Peace is what we need. Change is what we need. If you want everything to stay the same, then vote for McCain."

Grown-ups pay attention to your voting.

Why?

Because in four of the past five elections, the kids who voted picked the candidate who went on to win in November.

(The only time our vote had a different outcome than the grown-ups' vote was 2004.)

But this isn't just about picking the winner.

It's about exercising your right as a US citizen to vote for the candidate of your choice.

It's a right millions of people in other countries don't have.

And it's a right millions of Americans take for granted.

If you don't vote, you give up your power.

That's why voting is so important.

Democracy doesn't work unless you participate.

You read that right.  I have concluded that it is in fact the time to apologize to Michael Vick.  I have had an epiphany that the outrage against Vick is in fact, just a reflection on the paradoxical hypocrisy of white hubris. "I'm not a r...
