At campaign rallies, looks can be deceiving

Frank Lockwood, religion writer for the Arkansas Democrat Gazette, has this interesting observation from John McCain’s campaign rally  last Wednesday in Grand Rapids:

The riotious welcome showed that McCain is on a roll in Grand Rapids. Or did it? It turns out that 285 members of the audience — roughly half those in attendance — are students at a local Christian school. I interviewed about a half-dozen kids at random and asked them who they support. Half of them — even though they were wearing McCain campaign stickers — said Mike Huckabee.
