Education will emerge for the first time as a key issue in the coming presidential primaries, and Bush's success on the subject stands in stark contrast to the dismal record of his party's fallen Washington leaders. Congressional Republicans have backed away from their disastrous plan to abolish the federal Department of Education, and some took strange pride recently in blocking Bill Clinton's multibillion-dollar public-school construction plan. They have remained wedded to conservative shibboleths like education savings accounts and private-school vouchers, which have little appeal to the 89% of Americans who send their children...

However, I find this seemingly dismal fate much more preferable than the other alternative for a Red Sox playoff team: getting swept. They are the only team to suffer a four-game sweep in the League Championship Series when it was the only barrier between the regular season and the World Series...
