Miss K is paying very close attention to the election this year. She's watching news, debates, and listening to the reports on NPR (besides the kids' stuff). I'm sure if you were here to talk to her, you would be very impressed with her newshound abilities. She is becoming a very political creature, it's interesting. She also has been coloring the political cartoons and asking more questions about them.
I'm pretty impressed with the Nick Kids' Vote - I'm hoping that translates to younger voters and more turn out in a few years.
A bit more internet digging: the 4 out of 5 figure is repeated on many websites. Apparently 2004 was the race that the kids predicted wrong. Interesting.

The results of "Nick Vote" are actually a little concerning: 51% Obama, 49% McCain. I hope the actual election is not as close!
