Yesterday marked a historic day in American history. No matter how the election pans out, it will be momentous. This was the first time an African American male was a contender on the Democratic ticket, and the first time a female was part of the Republican ticket. To be a part of history in the making makes me proud and patriotic. I was thrilled to have my daughter along to experience it all.

LilSugar — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 11:00:04 -0800

Kids stay connected on the Internet so it makes sense that the social networking site for small frys (ages 3-12), Kid Zui, is encouraging them to express their political opinions online as well. Minors can cast their vote for the presidency in the mock election as their parents head to the polls. Here are a couple interesting tidbits.

Obama is favored by a 10 percent margin with 52 percent and McCain is at 42 percent.
For wee ones who want to do their research, there's a feature that allows them to befriend candidates. Young users can view McCain and Obama's profile pages, which include their favorite sites, videos, and pictures.

This is a great way to teach your tots how to make educated decisions and a difference!

Who Would You Trust to Babysit Your Kid: Obama or McCain?

babysugar — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 06:00:05 -0800

Voting for the United States Commander in Chief is clearly different from voting for your favorite babysitter. However, I have to think that the person you trust to push the war button might be someone you'd be willing to leave your child with while you enjoy a night on the town.

In the spirit of Super Tuesday, I have to ask, who would you rather babysit your child? Barack Obama or John McCain? Tell me why in the comments below.

Just six months apart, my husband and I were born under different administrations. I was born under Ford while he slipped into the world six months later during the Carter era. As my due date inches closer, I am praying that my candidate of choice will win so I can say he/she was born during Candidate Y's tenure.

Do you know who was President when you were born?
