Also, the mayor mentioned that he hoped to get the kayaking events to take place in Grand Rapids. Though unlikely, that would have been very cool.

It just felt so doggone good. Then I turned on the TV and Grant Park was like the biggest rock concert of all time. Someone on NPR said recently that they're going to have to rename the White House. I thought that was kind of funny. After I voted for Obama, I walked out of the polling place with a big, goofy grin on my face. It just felt so doggone good.

People in general and the media in particular are very hard on teenagers, most of whom don't deserve it. I like that these not-yet-voting guys were politically aware. Although maybe living near DC just makes you politically aware. This is an awesome story. People in general and the media in particular are very hard on teenagers, most of whom don’t deserve it.
