The American Spectator

Aside from the Mall of America's need to point out this was an "unscientific" poll, my favorite part of this release is learning that the kids who just thought it wise to participate in a sham gumball election immediately followed it up with a request that "people of all ages" be able to vote. Why not just say kids, first of all, since all other "ages" already can vote? And, second, if this is the kind of public spectacle they'll get into for a gumball, can you imagine how easily their vote could be bought? (I mean, I know the Obama campaign would love such an arrangement, but...) Call us when you're mature enough for cupcakes, 'kay?

Until then, I maintain my previous position.
