Well, I’m glad the superdelegates are being influenced by the wise and experienced as they make this very important decision, one that will have long term ramifications for their party.

As a small chorus of superdelegates has announced a preference for Senator Barack Obama in recent weeks, a theme is emerging: their children made them do it.
The list of Democrats who have cited the persuasive power of their own children as a factor in their Obama endorsements — either in earnest or as political cover — includes Senator Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, Gov. James E. Doyle of Wisconsin, Senator Claire McCaskill of Missouri, Gov. Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas and Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota.
Across the country, other parents are being lobbied hard, too. Youthful volunteers for each candidate have been campaigning with bright-eyed brio, not only door-to-door but at home as well. The young supporters of Mr. Obama, who has captured a majority of under-30 primary voters, seem to be leading in the pestering sweepstakes. They send their parents the latest Obama YouTube videos, blog exhortations and “Tell Your Mama/Vote for Obama!” bumper stickers.

Some of us pamper our kids in every way, they influence our choice of movies, cars, vacations, homes, etc. but I draw the line at picking my candidate. I wouldn’t be able to trust their discernment and in the case of Obama, I would be right 🙂
