When I was eleven years old, I knew I was very interested in politics. Perhaps that’s why I feel a little kinship with Emil Levitin, who at the ripe young age of eleven is an aspiring political commentator.

And, unlike me at that age, Emil (a pseudonym) has the good sense to be on the right side of the aisle! (Back then, I was handing out leaflets for Walter Mondale.)

As the folks over at OxBlog said of Emil’s Republican Voices site, “it is very hard to believe that an 11-year old can write so well.”
