Kids Are Smart... Who Knew?

Kids
Pick Kerry to Be the Next President

And, 'Lost' has been picked up for a full season!
Whoo Hoo! I kept trying to tell myself, "Don't get
invested. It's such a kickass show, it'll be off the
air before Sweeps." So, so happy to be proven wrong.

In 2000, kids picked Bush, so maybe they're on to something.

According to the article -

the rest of the country should pay attention because the vote on Nickelodeon's Web site has correctly chosen the president of the United States in the past four elections.

So, there's, you know... hope. I think. It's been so long since I experienced that particular sensation, I may have forgotten what it feels like.

Also of note, from
snopes.com (http://www.snopes.com/sports/football/election.asp)

the results of the last game played at home by the NFL's Washington Redskins before the U.S. presidential elections has accurately foretold the winner of the last fifteen of those political contests, going back to 1944. If the Redskins win their last home game before the election, the party that occupies the White House continues to hold it; if the Redskins lose that last home game, the challenging party's candidate unseats the incumbent president...
...But for those who believe in this sort of thing, the Redskins' last home game before the 2 November 2004 election is a Halloween Day contest against the Green Bay Packers — Republican supporters will be rooting for the Redskins, and Democratic supporters will become Cheeseheads for a day.

Uh... Go Packers!
