Man, I haven't had that good of a laugh in a long time! :D

I know. It's hilarious. Best part is the very end where the kid so astutely observes "Obama gonna win". :D

Wow. That was a great idea, actually.

Am I the only person who thinks this kids note-taking of the debate was more accurate and on the ball than the post debate analysis from the media pundits and talking heads?

That's because people who try and analyze debates assume a degree of consistency among the candidates. The kid here points out all the contradictions.

Which is why it's so funny and pundits are so stupid. It makes them ALL look bad.

It's funny and true, but I still call SNARK. This isn't real. A 9 year old didn't take these notes.

Oh, I don't know. I think if the kid wasn't real the diarist wouldn't be working so hard to protect their identity. They don't even say if the kid is a boy or girl or if the diarist is related to them. Supposedly the kid responded in the thread and the response was confusing and spotty enough to be from a kid. I think it's real but I think the diarist cleaned it up a lot.

I still think the kid is a girl.
