So it's not just the kids here in the States... :rolleyes:
Rooney for prime minister?
Yes, if you are 13 (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=857&ncid=757&e=10&u=/nm/20050413/od_uk_nm/oukoe_britain_electi ons_rooney)

LONDON (Reuters) - If Wayne Rooney ever opts to hang up his soccer boots, there may be a future in politics.

At least that is what a survey of school children suggests.
The next generation of voters feel the Manchester United and England forward would be the best man for the job of Prime Minister, according to this week's Kids General Election survey.
While current leader Tony Blair will not lose sleep over the poll, it will do nothing for his ego to know 15 percent of the nine to 13 year olds surveyed by the Cartoon Network opted for Rooney -- nearly double the amount who chose the Labour man.
Even 12 percent of the 1,000 youngsters questioned preferred fictional wizard Harry Potter over the man who has had the keys to Number 10 since 1997 and is widely expected to win a third term in power at the May 5 election.
Instead of Iraq, immigration and the economy, youngsters would want a Prime Minister Rooney to address bullying, school dinners and the burning issue of the recent break-up of boy band Busted.
