Poll:Trick or Treat: Baltimore

vanity | today | me

[VastRWCon]

Took a pool tonight from in my nieghborhood (in baltimore county) from the kids that knocked on my door. Some kids were quick to the answer, some followed by lead (kerry), others had no clue what I was talking about.

Bush or Kerry? was all I asked as I handed out candy.

results:

Bush 24 Kerry 15 No clue 12

Then I ran out of candy...

[VastRWCon]

Opps to many beers... I meant Poll.

[Fireone]

You could lump the last two together...Kerry and No Clue!

[clintg]

You're pathetic. Why ask Kids about politics?

[VastRWCon]

LOL so true... actually the parents of some gave them the answer.. but my poll is what it is.

[zoobee]

You ran out of candy? How could you?

I went to walmart to get some and ended up buying smarties and dum dums. Just a little while ago I realized what I did....I bought Republican and Democrat candy. I will have to ask the kids (if any come) whether they like Bush or Kerry...and if they like Bush they get Smarties. If they pick Kerry they get the dum dum suckers. Appropriate right?

[VastRWCon]

Clint...on. or BIll if you like... Kids repeat thiere parents... well only if they have them.

In my section of Baltimore County it was:

• Bush 10
• Kerry 25
• Jessie 48
• Bin Ladin 35

[VastRWCon]

LOL that is so funny... but honestly the kids only repeat what they hear at home.. so snickers and M&Ms for the ALL.

[VastRWCon]

LOL so you live on that street? MOVE IMMEDIATLY!!! LOL

[GreyWolf]

Of course, at my polling place all the poll monitors wear (non-partisan) NAACP caps.

[VastRWCon]

I understand. I am "liberal" in my candy giving I let the kids pick from my bucket of candy... 100 % of the Bush kids took only one... LOL about 50 % of the Kerry kids took more than one. I let it go, I felt it wasn't my place to disenfranchise any of the kerry kids.

You could lump the last two together...Kerry and No Clue!



That's exactly what I am afraid is going to happen!

[unspun]

No. What's pathetic is yammering at someone who is handing candy out at Halloween, and having some fun by asking them who they're for, for President.

[unspun]

I think it's clear that your comments are not directed toward me.

[bad company]

Go to bed.

Last night, (Saturday) our neighbors kids came by to pass out candy for us. Their parents were recently divorced and they were not going to go trick or treating. We heard in our community most people would go on Sunday but a few came by anyway. At one point, I jokingly told them as they passed out candy to tell the kids "Vote Bush". They did and all the kids said OK, except the ones who stared blankly at them.

Tonight we were hit by an assault of at least 200 kids. Some were really cute and polite, others were 12 years plus, wearing street clothes and holding Wal-Mart Bags. As the evening went on, we saw less and less costumes. Only about 4, and I'm not exaggerating, were able to speak fluent English. It's 8:PM here and I finally told the wife to shut off the light....We're only increasing what we'll pay for their Dental Care.

Damn, I'm jaded.
