"No question, there is something mystic about elections for Americans...the fires of interest are very much alive and burst into flame when they are stirred.... The National Student/Parent Mock Election offers a lively prospect, a great introduction to a national celebration, and a way to light, again, for a new generation, the torch of liberty."
