Virginia's Schoolchildern Vote -- The Churchill Road Example

31 Oct 2008 06:36 pm

Virginia let its schoolchildren vote in a mock statewide presidential election this Wednesday, and here are the results from the most affluent pubic elementary school in Fairfax County, Virginia.

Churchill Road Elementary School is just one place of learning, but the person who e-mailed me the tally, a prominent Republican, expected that kids would choose John MCCain.

448 chose Barack Obama and 270 chose McCain.

Obama won every grade level. This is interesting... not significant...but interesting. if you assume that kids pick up their political cues from their parents.
