Thanks for the great links. My children have been very involed in the whole process primary through general. It was a great oppertunity to teach about our government and party affiliation.
I campaigned hard and heavy - my kids involed all the way. That makes tomorrow feel all the more special like it's partly theirs too - they participated.
