It looks like the TV lovin' kids of Nickelodeon-land are a lot more divided about politics than the book worns of the Scholastic crowd. Over two million kids voted for who they would like to see as President of the United States in Nickelodeon’s “2008 Kids Pick the President” election. They told the kids that they are “letting you pick the issues AND the president, because the next four years affect you just as much as any adult…and could affect your future even more!” So, who did the wee ones pick?
Barack Obama! But it was a close race with Obama getting 51% (1,167.087) of the votes versus John McCain getting 49% (1,129,945) of the votes. The results of the Scholastic Poll were 57% for Obama and 39% for McCain. But Obama won both, will the kids have their say? What do you think?
