The first results are in........at least from my son's middle school here in Central Iowa. I am a big believer that kids results are very close to what their parents are going to do. They could choose a D and a R. Here are the numbers that he could remember

Obama 130, Hillary 30, Dodd 10 (he couldn't remember Edwards, and my son went with Dodd)

For the Rs Huck had 105, Romney 25, Paul 20, Thompson 13, Hunter 8 (and he couldn't remember the rest, and he voted for Paul)

Our school is in the most R area of a D leaning county. You could consider it rural/suburban. So take that for what it is worth. I am kinda surprised with the Huck number. I wouldn't call our area social right wing. My precinct went 40% to Steve Forbes in 2000, Bush with 25%, and the rest the rest. Can't say I like the R results from this school.

Actually, by middle school, most kids if they KNOW what their parents are going to do, will choose something else.

But mostly kids choose the rock stars they hear about. Thus Huckabee and Obama.
