Big Change, Small Packages
This is Sophia Maguire, a very enthusiastic Barack Obama supporter from the Beltway area that I had the good fortune of running into on the last day of the DNC.
She told me she approved of Obama's choice of vice president, citing Joe Biden's 35 years of senatorial experience, as well as his time spent as the chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, as the perfect compliment to Obama's youthful vigor and deep understanding of Constitutional law.
Her brother Sam agrees with her in most, but has slightly different reasons for throwing his support behind the Obama/Biden ticket…
In years past, Sam Maguire — though socially liberal — might have considered himself a Republican, or at the very least a Reagan Democrat. But these days, with the historically financially conservative GOP hijacked by neocons and theocrats bent on nation-building and governmental spending out of control, he feels that the Democratic ticket offers the more fiscally responsible choice.
Here's Sophia and Sam, waiting around with their mother Molly in Daily Kos' The Big Tent for some associates of theirs to arrive, so they could all head over to Mile High Stadium to see Obama's big speech.

From now on no one is ever allowed to complain about young people not getting involved in the democratic process.
Mommy? If we dress up like we know about the issues can we go to McDonalds afterwards?
And if we hold up signs and pose for the cameras can we go in the playplace? SO FUN!
… if these kids happen to be child prodigies that are actually informed, my apologies
I don't think brainwashed kids are cute really.

You realize the Big Tent was to trap all the blogger "journalists" inside, chained there by the free food, big TV , internet access, & their own laziness? Worked perfectly.
After a week of media-led heavy breathing over the frontier granny spokesmodel–Sophia and Sam lead the way in intellectual discourse. Refreshing! Even (dare I say it) hopeful!
Out of the mouths of babes comes truth and wisdom. Amend The Constitution and lower the voting age to 4 and 3/4 — Bush's reading level.
awww that's adorable!
