In 2008, might it not just as well say "19 year old TV watcher"?

Wonder if he'll continue with his university studies at some point or if he'll just stay in the local politics game.

The report that it links to has a bit more information. I'm a bit more impressed by this guy, considering that the mayor is an unpaid position. I also thought this was funny:

quote:
The senior class president at Muskogee High School in 2007, he served as president of both the Young Republicans and the Young Democrats clubs.

"I threw my name in both rings ... and lo and behold, both groups elected me," he said.

Seems like he's a born politician!
