#1 Obviously, I hope adults are as smart. BTW only about 2,100 out of 327,000 voters were 10th graders.

#2 Another good sign is voter participation was up over 20% in this poll.

#4 Kerry won for 10th graders. That would be the sophomores.

Definition of sophomore: foolishly wise

Coincidence? I think not.

#5 HS sophs are at that difficult age where parents aren't that cool. Voting for Skerry is a way of rebelling. The PC crowd in public education (?) tries to fill HS students' heads with mush. In fact, I think a lot of the Demos are adolescents in their thinking. They practice the 3 Rs--rowdiness, rebellion, and rancor.

The Weekly reader kids most likely reflect parent views--they have not been corrupted yet. It seems to me that in the past the Weekly Reader voting has accurately reflected the outcome of many elections. We can hope!!!!
