I saw that on CNN earlier. My daughter, who is also 12, found that
highly amusing. I have to applaud the Democrats giving her a say> I am
however rather disturbed by some of the side stories that don't seem
to be making CNN and the major media. Commentators last night on
Pacifica said several women from a peace group were required to remove
headscarves and also that the woman who founded Code Pink was ejected
for asking Teresa Kerry if her husband would get the soldiers out of
Iraq.

However, I caught the tail end of the speech by that guy from
Illinois, and I have to say wow. Wow. Imagine Bill Clinton as a gospel
preacher. He was really great. Now if I could only figure out what his
name is and how to spell it, lol :)

BOSTON -- A 12-year-old girl from California nearly upstaged some
long-time Democratic leaders on the second night of the party's
convention in Boston.

Ilana Wexler won a speaking role for launching a Web site called
kidsforkerry.org. She described Kerry as a "hero to America" and a
"great and positive role model."

But she clearly doesn't feel the same way about Vice President Dick Cheney.

Wexler told delegates that she'd heard about Cheney's heated exchange
with Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy on the Senate floor -- during which
Cheney used what the 12-year-old calls "a really bad word." She said
if she used that word herself, she'd get a "timeout" -- and she thinks
that's what should happen to Cheney.
