Susie Flynn for President
 Never mind that the Constitution forbids 10-year-olds from becoming president. Susie Flynn is going for it anyway. And though her single decade on the planet puts her solidly in the underdog pack, she runs with the arsenal of a natural-born politician. All smile, charm, and boundless energy, she's pushing her one-issue platform hard: In the U.S., 9 million children live without health insurance. Backed by the Children's Defense Fund, Susie's got facts. She's got real stories. She's got a petition. Most amusingly, she's got some spot-on videos from the campaign trail. In one, she uncovers surprising numbers in the White House trash. In another, she asks politely if she can place her placard on the president's lawn. "We... can't do that," says the guard, sounding very much like a fine upstanding young Storm Trooper. Susie takes no for an answer in that case, but we have a feeling it's only a matter of time before she's behind doors at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
