An Election Day Observation

It's Super Tuesday, but the primaries aren't the only political action in town. My kids came up with an election of their own. They created, and are both running for, the position of "President of the House." Both of them have been putting up posters, and each of them has independently discovered a common political strategy. My daughter managed, in just a couple of hours, to master the fine art of the meaningless slogan ("Vote for me and do what is right"). My son has mastered the tactic of slapping his posters directly on top of his opponent's. They're ten and eight respectively. I think this says a lot about the state of American politics.

I like your son's tactic. He'll be prez of Russia that way!

BTW, have they thought about who's gonna be their Veep?

when will you remind them that the key to winning is in " who builds the ballot box and does the counting"?

I can't wait for the attack ads to start appearing on YouTube.
