I took the kids with me to the voting booth today. Luckily, I planned it j-u-s-t right and Zed fell asleep on the way over, so I only had Zoey to deal with. But she was good as gold. There were no lines due to the lack of a Presidential election and the rainy weather, so we were able to go directly to the booth. She was in awe of the touch-screen voting apparatus, so she stayed by my side during the entire process. When I finished, it was time for Zoey to vote.
In my area, they let kids vote as well. They even broadcast the results on the local news (and just for the record, the kids of our county voted for Kerry in the last election, while the adults voted for Bush). The ballot is a piece of paper with pictures of the candidates running for office. And how did Zoey vote?
If there was a woman running against a man, she always voted for the woman. So she's obviously a feminist. Either that or spending all her days with her Daddy has totally turned her against men.
If there were two women running against each other or two men running against each other, she always picked the younger or more attractive candidate. So she's obviously superficial as well.
Zoey, The Superficial Feminist. Party lines be damned!
So if you are an attractive female and ever decide to run for public office, you've got at least one vote.
