KIDS TALK BACK

The Daily Pilot asked elementary school students at Page Private

School in Costa Mesa: Are you following what’s going on with the

presidential election? If so, what do you think?

They’re voting. They’re counting how many votes the presidents have.

They haven’t decided yet because they didn’t count all the votes. The

person that I voted for, I heard he was in the lead: Bush. At the snack

table, some of my friends said Gore was in the lead. But I’m not sure.

But I do know that George Bush got 200-something.

EMILY AIHARA, 7

I only know two people [running]: Gore and Bush.

DEVON LAMB, 7

[Do you know who’s running?] George W. Bush and Al Gore. [Did someone

win yet?] No. [Do you know what state they’re counting votes in?] No.

VICTORIA SMITH, 6

[Do you know who’s running?] George W. Bush and Al Gore. [Do you know

why no one won yet?] No. Don’t know.

JORDAN CORDOBA, 6

I don’t have anything to say. No, I didn’t know an election was going

on. I don’t do that. I don’t watch that stuff.

NICOLE RUDOLPH, 7
