No, I didn’t leave voting up to my baby boy of course, he’ll need to quit saying, “No Mommy, not the NEWS!” first, but I picked the candidates and issues, and he got to push the big green “vote” button at the end. He was pretty impressed with himself and told everyone, “I voted!” You can never teach that sense of civic pride too early, I suppose! So, unlike last November’s debacle, today’s experience was a perfect little neighborhood community center, with people riding up on bikes to vote, a nice walk through fall leaves, and my very enthused son. But I fear the results will be the same – an election night full of disappointments.
Heaven help Ohio!
