Obama, McCain, and what they mean to your kids
As Liz said earlier, it's been interesting to watch kids' reactions to this election -- even the young ones. You find out a little bit about what your children are made of.
For example, my son told me that he had voted for Barack Obama in his kindergarten class election. I asked him why. He said, "Well, he was going to be the winner."
Another 5-year-old I know was stricken that his slightly older sister was supporting a different candidate than the rest of the family.
And lots of kids are interested in going to the polls with parents today. If you're thinking about it, here's the Maryland election page that spells out the rules. And here's a Seattle Times piece on the subject.
If you already got back from taking your kid to vote with you, how did that go?

My husband and I always go to vote together with our kids. I think it is good for them to be exposed to it and understand how important it is to vote. The 7-year old did great, but the 3-year old did not want to stand still long enough for me to vote (I think the long line that we stood in attributed to him being antsy).
