Eliz. Edwards, Howard Dean in MN, two neat snips about them.

There are two really priceless comments on each of them.

I can appreciate this section, as I taught this grade. They are quite open about what they don't know.

SNIP.."Before her 50-minute education discussion, Edwards stopped in a second-grade classroom to read a children's book, "A Bad Case of Stripes."

The kids mostly drew a blank when teacher Connie Chouinard showed them a picture of Kerry and Sen. Edwards. "It's John Kerry -- and I don't know the other guy's name," one said.

And this paragraph about Dean struck me funny.
SNIP.."Now they are channeling that power toward state and local elections, and Dean had attended a fund-raiser for their Minnesota races earlier in the day. At the Harris home, he met four candidates for the state Legislature and one for Congress along with Minneapolis mayor R.T. Rybak, who introduced the physician-turned-politician as "the doctor who taught us how to find our backbone."

Dean kicked off his shoes and stood on a chair to urge the adoring crowd to work for Kerry...."

I now have that image in my mind. LOL

1. Love that Dr. Dean!

Can't wait to get his book. Well at least one kid knew who John Kerry was, that's not bad. I bet most of them wouldn't recognize bu$h either. Politics is not on their minds unless they hear a lot about it at home.

2. I am surprised they knew any of the pictures. Cute age.
