has anyone considered that whether or not Palin has a "snowball's chance" of gaining popularity, the Republican Party is already distancing itself from her more every day? The Reps are very bright - they will not invest their future on someone who prides themself on 'going rogue'. The party itself will suffer significantly if she splits its' voters on any election day - that's already been shown in NY and VA. Although I am not a Rep, I have respect for many of their intelligent and thoughtful members. They will not waste their energy or money supporting her - in fact, I expect they are already discussing how to take down her 'shooting star' popularity. It's a loooooong time until the next campaign starts for real - plenty of time for her to self-destruct,and she will - even without an organized effort to shut her down. By campaign time, I predict that no party or group of significant clout will allow her to associate herself with them. This person wants to be the President of the United States but she can't even endure a full term as Governor. What would she do under REAL Whitehouse pressure? She would collapse within the first 100 days and her 'handlers' would be running the country.... This is NOT what I want to happen to my country.
The force driving negative reporting about the Ivy School is HDCE's fear of competitor success. If we let something so simple as individualized, focused education delivered to children who do not fear for their well-being/lives when coming to class be denigrated by an inept superintendent and staff who are just marking time until they can retire (on your tax dollars), then we will always have what we now have. Ivy School is leading a way toward better education for our children, as is the Girl's Leadership Academy. Both of these charter schools were designed to salvage the very children that HCDE has failed. Such schools appeal to parents and children who cannot cope successfully with the disorganization, political infighting, mudslinging, low morale and inadequate resources offered by the HCDE. HCDE is afraid that Ivy School will succeed. That is THE reason that the HCDE criticizes it and draws the press into the fray to do it's dirty work - writing only the negative about the Ivy School. We should be proud that something so innovative and courageous as this school is blooming in our area and that OUR children have access to it.
Apparently, Labor didn't get the memo about inexcusably high wages driving businesses into the ground (can you say "GM"? "Chrysler"?), thereby damaging the economy for all of us.
