I meant to post this awhile ago -- it's a very interesting read! :)

For index.

Lt Gov Brogan and Gov Bush shop for school supplies
for mentoring their students, during tax-free back to school week.

I thought you would enjoy this article. :)

the governor has motivated him.

Impressive Governor. This kid is one lucky kid!

[summer]

FYI. :)

It's cool that he takes the time to be with this student. Our governor would never go for it. He just talks, but he doesn't venture far from the mansion - unless it's to raise funds.

BTTT!

Thank you so much, Balding_Eagle. BTW, I am trying to improve my typing. :)

[summer]

I agree. And, it's also cool how much time he has spent visiting schools and meeting with teachers firsthand. Thanks for your post. :)

(I am guessing you are in CA, and talking about Davis, the fundraising machine, so I hear?)

Oops! I see you're in Washington state! Another fundraising king governs there, eh? LOL.... :)

Is there anyway Janet Waco can win this thing?

Is there anyway Janet Waco can win this thing?

If there was no one else running for governor, then she would have a much better chance. :)

Runnin to save the children!

[summer]

That's a tough sell for her, IMO.

FYI. A good read here. :)

Bush stuck with the student, and even tracked him down in his neighborhood when he skipped class.

The following year the student passed all his classes and his behavior improved dramatically, Callaway said.

''He has not had a disciplinary record this year, which is phenomenal,'' she said.

This is so far out. Jeb Bush has it nailed.

Now, contrast this with Oprah interviewing middle school students who say that thanks to Bill Clinton, oral sex is their pastime.

Jeb Bush: for whom "mentoring" means what it says in the dictionary--not Hillary's euphemism for Bill and Monica.

Phil, Thanks for your post here. :)

This is real cool of him to do- it can be so hard for many of us to have the time to spend with a child that's not our own. GO JEB!!
