Thats a grand idea! I'll take 2 Hot 18yrs old babysitters with a side of bud light. And the country stands a great chance of this chick becoming Prez? If she was a guy with the same campaign gimmicks she'd be labled an "Idiot". I want a Prez like Morgan Freeman in Deep Impact. the dude could tell me the world was gonna end in 48 hours and its all good cause Morgan Freeman told me. I've taken my kids to vote the last 2 times I voted. 2 kids under 4 yrs old. If I could handle that so could an Iowa voter. Whats next Kool-aid in the drinking fountains?

This isn't a bad idea really.

During the caucuses voters must submit their ballots in person, and they have to do it during a certain period of time. If you have kids that need watching you can't exactly drag them out into the snow with you to wait in lines at the poll booths.

Except where does it end?
Perhaps they can pay you for your time and effort.
perhaps they can reimburse you for your mileage
perhaps they can just write you a nice big check

Paying any sort of money would be immoral, but I see nothing wrong with providing a service to make getting to the polls easier. Many of the candidates offer a shuttle service to help people get to the polls, do you find anything wrong with that?
