You may wonder if Gwen Wren is missing US politics during her travels. No indeed! She has seen every one of the debates. She watched the first presidential debate at the library basement in Tamworth, New Hampshire (in the foreground are her highly political grandparents – Toby, Theo, and John – setting a good civic example).
The others debates were not quite live, but thanks to iTunes, she was able to watch from the comfort of her German farmhouse couch. The consensus? Not at all impressed with the McCain/Palin ticket. Obama and Biden, on the other hand, look great. And that’s from a 4 month old. If only the rest of the country understood the political climate so well…
Gwendolyn freely admits, however, that the majority of her news coverage comes from downloaded episodes of The Daily Show. How could we bear today’s political climate without Jon Stewart?
After paying close attention to the issues and critically weighing the candidates’ platforms, the Wren was upset to learn that we would not be voting in person. Filling out an absentee ballot in the parking lot of a German post office was decidedly anticlimactic.

Absentee ballot cast by a baby? It's a good thing that she is not registered in Ohio. The RNC would find some way to turn this story into legal action disenfranchising perhaps hundreds of other babies living abroad.
