You heard it here first.
John McCain soundly beats Barack Obama in the vote at Ronald Reagan Elementary today.
Not that it should come as a surprise when the school is named after the Patron Saint of the GOP, and the sons of a sitting Congressman attend the school. However, the teachers have been "campaigning" for Obama, as my kids have noted, with claims that people should vote for him because he would be the 1st black President (as well as the 44th white President]
I take my victories where I can. At least, there is hope for the next generation.

At my son's grade school in our conservative Ohio town Obama won handily.

I blame the parents, not the kids.

Emma said that at her school the Green Party only got 18 votes, including hers. Obama won by about 100 votes, which is surprising in Orange County.

Not so much any more. Orange County now has more registered Democrats than Republicans. --Bob
