My little politico

Maddy and me on my bed

watching the VP debate 

(sorry...grainy MacBook photobooth camera)

If there is a debate or a political convention on, Maddy is there with bells on.  Truly (although not literally.  No bells are actually worn on her person).  Four years ago, when she was 8, Maddy watched both the Democratic and Republican conventions, asking us questions all the way through, trying to unravel the mysteries of the political process. Where did this girl come from?  If you ask her what she wants to study when she goes to college, she will tell you she'd like to double major in history and political science, maybe studying the history of politics. There was a time she wanted to run for president someday but she has since decided that she's not interested in that kind of scrutiny.  Too bad...I would love to see those spunky sparkly red shoes in the White House.

In her honor I want to remind you to make sure you are registered to vote. In some states the deadline is THIS WEEK.  Make sure you are eligible to make your voice heard in November. Okay?

She's a girl after my own heart.

What a cutie she is. Maren loves to follow politics too. And just so you don't lose sleep tonight, I am registered to vote. :)

You should have her write a post on her political views. Priceless girl. Gotta love her!

Way to go Maddy! I'd love to get her take on the whole thing.

[Kenny and Linsey]

Good for her. Encourage her to skip the White House and go for PTA or school board or city council -- that is where you can really make a difference in people's lives.

Thanks for the link!

What a smart cookie you've got there...must run in the family, huh?

Wow. That's amazing that she knows what she wants at such a young age. She has my vote for Pres.
