Just days before Americans choose our next president, voting has concluded in the Weekly Reader Student Presidential Election Poll. And the nation's students resoundingly say that Barack Obama will be the country's next leader. In the 14th Weekly Reader election survey, with more than 125,000 votes cast from kindergarten through 12th grade, the result was Obama 54.7% and John McCain 42.9% (with "other" candidates receiving 2.5% of the student vote). The Obama victory in the classroom electoral vote was even more resounding: The Democrat won 33 states and the District of Columbia, garnering 420 electoral votes, while McCain took 17 states and 118 electoral votes.

5. Go Texas Go!!!!!!!!

I am still holding out hope that Texas will be a shocker on Tuesday. The 7-11 poll turned Texas blue also.

8. Holy Crap!

GA? MS? TX? AK? SD? But not MN or NH?

If you figure that for the most part, kids will vote for who their parents like, that completely underrepresents young voters who have no kids in school. Of course, on the other end, there's probably lots of high school kids who like Obama but have parents who like McCain.
