I saw that on the news this morning and got a pretty good laugh. He is still going to win. Saden I'm surprised your not all over the O'Donnell debate against the other three people.

I didn't watch it yet. I'm pretty sure she's still a dumb witch though.

p.s. HuffPost has the videos of the debat (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/10/13/delaware-senate-debate-christine-odonnell-chris-coons_n_762025.html)e...i'll have to watch them later and let you know.

Apparently the whole "I'm angry and crazy (and a homophobe)" or "I'm you" act only goes so far with voters, thankfully.

Yeah... unfortunately you still have folks like Angle and Paul out there weaseling their way into a close election.

I've never seen a study on this but I'll throw this thought out there to see what people think. Perhaps at least some of the performance gains in private schools is more attributed to the fact that all the kids are their by parental choice. Meaning parents on the whole, in the private school system, take the education of the children more seriously than that of those in the public system. And I do know when parents care and get involved with the kids' education then the kids do better.

I base this on the fact that when talking to numerous parents about private school we had a number of them tell us that it isn't worth it because it really isn't all that different than a decent public school. Now we have good public schools in my area but the private schools still out-perform even those good schools in all the basic metrics.

I thought this was a relevant and interesting interview (http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/wed-october-13-2010/condoleezza-rice-pt--1). A lot of parents simply don't know better and they need educating too. I believe 1/3 the battle of a child success is attributed to the parents, 1/3 to the child, and 1/3 to their environment (teachers, schools, etc).

Who's still going to win, Paladino??

Not sure why I said that because I think he is behind in the poles. I was thinking of another race.

I was watching the liberal TV show MSNBC today and their guy who picked 49 of 50 states in the presidential race said the Dem's have a storm coming. When asked how bad of a storm he said you mean what category maybe 4 or 5 hurricane. Then they showed his chart and it did not look to good for the Dem's.

Any thread started by our pessimistic friend from Seattle is an "Unfun" thread. :joke:

Sadens a mighty fine guy for a liberal.
