wrong answer, right idea

My friend Allen's post on what six-year-olds think of the election reminded me of this recent conversation from our household:

Me: Do you have a preference for who you want to be President?
Morgan: Yeah, Barack Obama.
Quinn: I want John McCain to be President.
Me: Really?  Why is that?
Quinn: I don't know.
Me: What do you like about John McCain?
Quinn: I don't know.

[pause]

Quinn: Is John McCain the one with dark skin?
Me: No, John McCain has white hair.  Barack Obama has dark skin.
Quinn: Oh, yeah, Barack Obama.  That's who I mean.
