and the winner is...


















Barack Obama. According to the kids at least. Evidently, those kids are usually pretty accurate.

Scholastic released the results of their kids election poll and Obama received 57% to McCain's 39%. Of course, you can't leave out those write-in votes for Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers! The interesting thing about the poll is that it has been correct in every election since 1964.

Can you hear the cheers emanating from the IslandFourSoonToBeFive household? Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama!

Annie has been learning about the election in school this week and she's excited to go to the polls with us when we vote. We found a Electoral College map that we're going to print out so she can color the states red or blue as the results come in. We'll even work on those math skills as we add up to 270. It could be a late night.
