The Votes Are In

Yesterday, Benjamin's class did a mock presidential election. After school we asked Benjamin who he voted for and he proudly said "Barack Obama."

So, Don asked him "Why did you vote for Barack Obama?"

And Benjamin's response was "He was blue!"

Of course!

Obama won in Benjamin's class by four votes.

Obama: 9 votes
McCain: 5 votes

Apparently, Benjamin is not the only one in his Cardinal class that loves the color blue!

After that event, Don later told me he recalled doing a mock election as a young boy in one of his classes. He remember voting for Jimmy Carter because it sounded the most familiar to him... like "Welcome Back, Kotter!"

Happy Election Day!
