Campaign ’08 not just for adults — kids love it
Youngsters have become more passionate about candidates, politics

NEW YORK - "I voted for Barack Abooma!" bragged Davita Randall the other day. One should perhaps forgive the mispronunciation. After all, she and her brother Davin, also an "Abooma" enthusiast, are only in kindergarten.

No, they can't actually vote, but the Randall twins of Elk Grove, Calif., are excited about this election nonetheless. As is first-grader Alex Taylor, who discussed the race animatedly with his mother all the way to their New York City polling station on Super Tuesday — only to see Mom vote another way.

"I voted for Hillary Clinton," said their mother, Sandy Radnovich. "That wasn't his candidate. But I told him, this is what America is all about: free choice."

Sounds like the kids are being civil. Maybe there's hope. :)
