It's convention time for the Democrats and Republicans, so we asked seniors at Bayside High School in Virginia Beach:

What do you think of the upcoming presidential election?

"Both parties are well represented... if I were of legal voting age, I would have a... tough time deciding our next president... " - Will Deets, 17

"I don't get why people make a big deal about voting for the president. Elections for senators and representatives should be looked at more." - Whitney Gundlach, 17

"I haven't really paid much attention to the race since I'm not for either candidate." - Chelsea Lord, 17
