I'm curious. When is the last time you were in a CA public school?

I am disappointed, Michelle. I hate to see you vote for a stupid woman who is, as you admit, a liar to boot! >>So this means you are declining the wine-in-a-box bet? My box or yours?

>>Well Zoltan, I would vote for Fong if it were some other state v. California, hes moderate enough for me. But the problem with California is the schools. The politicians and voters pummelled the schools here - its an embarrassment. I think the public schools are in dire need of repair and I want to get all the Dems in there that I can because I think they will fix it. Vouchers are a nice-to-have which would be ok if the public schools were acceptable, which they are not. The last time we had good schools was when Brown was in office. Michelle, California schools are not affected by the Senate race, schools are a state function. Guess that means you'll vote Fong. Whoops, there they go again: Sunday November 1 10:37 AM EDT Clinton Makes Vote Pitch At Black Church By Randall Mikkelsen WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Clinton makes a final campaign foray of the election season Sunday to a predominantly black Baltimore church where he will pitch a get-out-the vote message to some of his most loyal supporters. The president was to speak at the New Psalmist Baptist Church in trying to energize Democrats who may have been turned off from voting in Tuesday's congressional and state elections by the Monica Lewinsky scandal, or who were lulled into complacency by a strong economy. ''It's a very important election and he's going to very direct about that -- the importance of everybody getting out to vote,'' White House spokesman Barry Toiv said. Black voters have been among Clinton's most unwavering backers, and the most forgiving of his sexual affair with one-time White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Most polls and political experts say the elections are likely to yield modest Republican gains but not a Republican rout of Democrats, as anticipated only a few weeks ago. But they are also likely to leave the Republicans in control of both houses of Congress and therefore in control of the pending impeachment inquiry against the president. Although the Lewinsky sex-and-perjury scandal and the Republicans' handling of it provided campaign ammunition for candidates from both parties, Toiv said Clinton's message Sunday will stress Democratic policy aims such as education and health care. ''He does believe very strongly that the American people support his position and the position of the Democrats on the issues that most directly affect their lives, and that if people come out and vote, Democrats will do very well,'' Toiv said. ''He hopes that more Democrats in Congress will mean school modernization initiatives, will mean... that we can take on Social Security challenges, will mean a real patient's bill of rights,'' Toiv said. The church appearance will be one of Clinton's few recent appearances before a more-or-less public group. Saying the rout of Democrats in the 1994 congressional elections showed traditional rallies were an unproductive use of the president's time, the White House limited Clinton's appearances to staged events aimed at highlighting issues such as education and to candidate fund-raisers, where he has raised millions of dollars. Following the church appearance, Clinton was scheduled to record an interview with Black Entertainment Television, which is to be broadcast Monday. The president also is scheduled to hold a health care event Monday at the White House, making the cast one last time for one of his major campaign-season issues. At stake in the election are all 435 seats of the House of Representatives, 34 Senate seats and 36 governorships. Republicans control the Senate by a 55-45 margin and the House by 228 to 206 seats, with one independent. Republicans hold 32 state governorships, against the Democrats' 17. The state of Maine is governed by an independent. dailynews.yahoo.com And a few days ago a NY Bishop decried the use of a NY Catholic Church building for a Clinton/Schumer rally. Gee Michelle, I guess you'll have to vote Rep now since the Dems are mixing church and politics, as they always do.
