Dear Arthur,
Some students will teach the teachers...maybe you are correct. On the other hand, the voters may be the "disciplinarian" of students and teachers. However, with the tenuous financial situation, one could easily see many local and national elections by won by margins of 52 percent to 48 percent. In essence, the outcomes of many Pawtucket and national political races will be based on how many people will lose their homes or become really hungry between Sunday, October 12 and Tuesday, November 4.
Cases in point of voter indecision and voter frustration: Pollster.com shows an indefinite Obama victory with polls ranging from four to 12 percent. United States Senate races in North Carolina, New Jersey, New Mexico, and Minnesota are virtually tied.
In closing, the frustration level of voters will decide many local and national races.
