You can just forget Election Day

Pack it up, folks. No need to lose any more sleep over the presidential election, Obama has it in the bag.
No, it’s not the incessant polling and cynical media calling the winning shot here. The Obama declaration comes from a much higher authority: The Weekly Reader. That’s right. America’s classroom news magazine took its quadrennial poll of kids across the country and they picked Obama for prez with a 53 percent to 43 percent vote.
You laugh? The Weekly Reader readers have correctly chosen the winning presidential candidate in 12 of the last 13 elections.
Of course that doesn’t mean America’s kids have always chosen well. They picked Richard Nixon and Dubya along with Kennedy and Carter.
I nearly cried when they dissed Kerry four years ago. This time, I'll just keep holding my breath.
