PlusMcCain to NAACP: More Options for StudentsMcCain to NAACP: More Options for StudentsThe Associated PressJohn McCain told the NAACP and some skeptical black voters Wednesday that he will expand education opportunities, partly through vouchers for low-income children to attend private school. (July 16)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] Oh naacp mccain olv ap 20080716 SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN TOOK THE STAGE AT THE NAACP CONVENTION AND RECEIVED A WARM WELCOME. MCCAIN BROUGHT A MESSAGE THAT PLANS TO CREATE STRONGER SCHOOLS FOR MINORITIES. JOHN MCCAIN/REPUBLICAN FOR PRESIDENTWe will pay bonuses to teachers who take on the challenge of working in our most troubled schools -- because we need their fine minds and good hearts to help turn those schools around. We will award bonuses as well to our highest-achieving teachers. And no longer will we measure teacher achievement by conformity to process. We will measure it by the success of their students. MCCAIN APPEALED TO THE AFRICAN AMERICANS IN ATTENDANCE BY PROMISING TO CREATE MORE INTERNET BASED LEARING TOOLS. JOHN MCCAIN/REPULICAN FOR PRESIDENTI propose to direct 500 million dollars in current federal funds to build new virtual schools, and to support the development of online courses for students. Through competitive grants, we will allocate another 250 million dollars to support state programs expanding online education opportunities MCCAIN ALSO MADE A SHARP ATTEMPT TO DRAW LINE BETWEEN HIS EDUCATION POLICY AND BARACK OBAMA'S. JOHN MCCAIN/REPUBLICAN FOR PRESIDENTSenator Obama dismissed public support for private school vouchers for low-income Americans as, "tired rhetoric about vouchers and school choice." All of that went over well with the teachers union, but where does it leave families and their children who are stuck in failing school THE NAACP IS A NON-PARTISAN ORGANIZATION BUT OBAMA HAS A STRONG HOLD ON THE BLACK VOTE. AND MANY ATTENDEES LIKE SOME OF MCCAIN'S IDEAS BUT DISSAGREE ON MANY MORE LIKE EDUCATION. Olliea Jarrett/Kansas City, KS4135 "I THINK THAT ONE OF THINGS HE NEEDS TO DO IS FOCUS ON FIXING THE PROBLEMS. I THINK THEY NEED TO START ALL OVER WITH NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND. HE WANTS TO FIX IT AND I THINK IT SHOULD BE ELIMINATED." Mark Carlson/Standup McCain ventured into what is considered Obama territory and wasn't afraid to take questions from the crowd and give answers that weren't popular. Obama is planning a trip to the Middle East and that's widely considered McCain territory. Obama will be taking his end the war in Iraq policy to the men and women who are fighting the war. Mark Carlson, AP, Cincinnati, Ohio.

You should be really proud of yourself. :) When you don't confine yourself to one party, you gain a much greater understanding of what each candidate is REALLY like. And I'm not a democrat btw, I'm an Independant :D

Yes jobs, but what KIND of jobs, and how much PAY?!! Will it be FAIR pay? Enough to LIVE on? Or will it be the kind of jobs and pay promised to the residents of Juarez and places in Bangladesh and Philippines? Yes, so many great promises, always.

Young people, it's ok to support John McCain. McCain's mantra is "JOBS FOR AMERICA". McCain's economic plan is to create millions of good American jobs. There'll be more jobs than people qualified for the jobs. In a free market, you will achieve your dreams under McCain. When you graduate from college, there'll be jobs waiting for you. Please review McCain's plan carefully atj o h n m c c a i n . c o m /Informing/issues/ It is a better and solid plan for the young minds with BIG dreams.

I guess that most people that comment on here are lacking Brains, but the fact is that McCain has a steady hand, as where Obama is "flip floping" where ever the latest poll says is different, McCain actually has presented a plan, Obama has presented words, with no real plan behind it.

Vouchers don't work. Let's say a school fails and students have a choice to go to a different school. Well, what happens if the next nearest school is a half hour away? What happens if a school is so far away, parents can't afford the gas to drive their children to another school? Or the time it takes for a 15 yr old to get to the "unfailing" school takes time away from caring for his little brother? Or what if the private school doesn't accept everyone? Schools should be fixed, not nixed.
