Are your parents listening to you?

As a self confessed political junkie, I've been tracking the presidential race very closely. I love that this election is about change--and really I believe all three candidates want to represent a big vision of America's possibilities.

In watching the race for superdelegates on the democratic side, I've been struck by how many superdelegates have given credit to their kids for influencing their decision.

This weekend on "This Week with George Stephanopolous" President Jimmy Carter (who has not endorsed either candidate) said his children and grandchildren are all supporting Obama and one could surmise his support based on the politicking of his family.

Last week, an article in the New York time discussed this very trend, http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/08/us/politics/08kids.html?ex=1208318400&en=b9601c284cd9e852&ei=5070&emc=eta1.

Tell us, do you chat with your parents about the election? Are they listening?
