Hmmm, saw a story poster here earlier today that say a Weekly Reader poll had Bush over Kerry. Gee Nickelodeon or Weekly reader. Ah yes it just so hard to decide who to waste my time on.

There is a reason kids don't vote. Duh...

Welcome to Free Republic.

You might want to make note of the fact that we are old hands at spotting DNC/Moveon activists here. Might want to refrain from posting articles if you cannot take getting slow roasted

"Young People, who hold the key to America’s future, have voted for John Kerry to become president in Nickelodeon’s “Kids Pick the President.”

Lets just be like way futuristic man, and enpower the children.

Suspend the popular election, just pick children to go to the electoral college.

Kerry and Edwards should be president of nickelodeon then. Seems more suitable for someone of Edwards depth anyway.

I think Spongepants Bob would have cleaned up if Kerry/Edwards hadn't taken legal action to keep him off the ballot.

This was an online poll.

The DUmmies were bragging how they "won" it by flooding their website.

Since Linda Ellerbee had her pro homosexual lovefest show, Nickelodean has gone off in my house. Permanently. I blocked it out. I don't want my kids watching it. There are plenty of good shows on without watching the "preparation for MTV" drivel.

I am sure lots of Bush parents feel the same way. And Democrats tend to watch more garbage TV.

When my liberal niece comes over my house, she is not allowed to turn it on, and does she get mad! Instead we watch documentaries, animal planet, etc.

Scholastic kids chose Bush.

Teens chose Bush.

College students in droves are choosing Bush.

The younger generations aren't buying your side's lies anymore. Your side has lost both houses of Congress, the White House, and the hearts and mind of patriotic Americans, especially those of us in "flyover country." Come November 3, you'll need to lick your wounds and do some soul-searching, and see where you went wrong. Why don't Americans trust the Democrats with our national security?

Welcome to FR. Enjoy your brief stay.

Another one Scholastic, I think, had Bush over Kerry.

Nickleodeon is a left wing show anyway. If I had kids today, this show would be on the "Do Not Watch" list.

So. They have a 50/50 shot at it. Probability dictates that they're due a loss.

Channel One ran a segment on a mock vote today. Bush walloped Kerry.

Bush Defeats Kerry 55% to 40% in Channel One News 'OneVote 2004'

Bush Secures 393 Electoral Votes
and Wins All Swing States But One, with
Kerry Receiving 145 Electoral Votes
Sponsored by Clearasil, Channel One's OneVote 2004 Initiative
One of the Largest Online Teen Votes Ever
With Nearly 1,400,000 Ballots
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- President George W. Bush was elected to a second term as President with 55% of the votes in Channel One News' OneVote 2004, one of the largest online teen elections in US history. Senator John Kerry received 40%, with 5% voting for a third party candidate. Although pundits believe that there are a number of "swing" states that could follow either candidate, Channel One's OneVote participants defied conventional wisdom by awarding President Bush the states of Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Oregon, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire and New Mexico. Senator Kerry's lone swing state victory came in Maine. OneVote 2004 was Channel One network's third mock presidential election, and is one of the largest online teen votes in history with nearly 1.4 million participants. Sponsored by Clearasil, Channel One News' OneVote 2004 was designed to encourage young people to participate in the electoral process from an early age. Ballots were cast on October 19th and 20th through Channel One News' Web site, http://www.channelone.com, and the final results have now been compiled and segmented by state; and will be announced on-air on Channel One News' October 21st broadcast.
"American teens have made their voices heard through Channel One News' OneVote program, and President Bush ended up the victor by a margin of 55% to 40%," said Jim Morris, Executive Producer, Channel One News. "It is crucial to get young people in this country involved in the political process from an early age, so we are also particularly proud that Channel One News' OneVote 2004 initiative set the mark as one of the largest online teen votes ever, with nearly 1.4 million ballots counted."
One of the interesting highlights of Channel One News' OneVote 2004 came from Michigan's teen voters, who originally had the candidates separated by 12 votes out of 80,000 in the final hour before eventually rallying to select President Bush over Senator Kerry.
Channel One News' OneVote program continues to address the negative voting trend that began decades ago, when 18-20 year olds were granted the right to vote by the 26th Amendment. Since that time, voting by young adults has declined significantly.
Channel One News is broadcast via satellite to nearly 12,000 secondary schools across the country; it is the highest-rated teen television program in United States.

Assuming kids mirror their parents the Margin of Error of a sample size of 500,000 in a universe of 115,000,000 is 0.14%.

Kids Pick John Kerry as President in Mock Election

Thus proving that our kids are not being taught the lessons they need in order to survive in today's world.

Nothing better to do today then post this crap? Freepers voted in this poll and they are certainly not kids in age. This poll like so many of them are meaningless but nice of you to post it again since it was all over the place on here yesterday. Bet you didn't even both to check either since it showed Kerry over Bush!

My 13 year old daughter told me about this "election." She said that they show a kind-of dark picture of Bush where he doesn't look very leader-like and they show this big, colorful picture of John Kerry making him look as though he IS a leader. It was as biased as anything we see on the television these days and most kids fell for it.

I swear I saw a post on FR in the past couple of weeks that urged a Freep of this poll for fun. Apparantly, not many of us did, or perhaps DU beat us to it.

This had to be an on-line poll, right? And of course the MSM takes this on-line poll to heart.

If Nick has been correct in the past 4 elections, maybe the other 3 past polls were call-in or mail-in?
