>Guess what, there's no correlation between money spent on education and outcome. Washington, DC has some of the highest per capita spending on education, and some of the worst test scores.

You are right, the raw material I guess is a factor.

>The environment has improved even more under Bush. Los Angeles was touting how the air there is as clean as it's been in the last 25 years, just last week.

OK I don't have numbers like you have. My main source of information is Robert J. Kennedy (yes I how he is a Democrat) and he believes that W has put back the regulations 30 years. The people who run each environmental agency in the US are business people heading corporations that will benefit from more relaxed laws on polution. But if Arnold says everything is fine, then it must be fine.

>Intelligent manner? "I have a plan" . . . . Funny we never saw any of those plans. Bush has a plan, a program and a track record. Oh yeah, did I mention, he won reelection

You are right on both counts, Kerry didn't have a plan and Bush had a track record. I can now see why the people had trouble making up their mind.
