Obama and McCain on Education

I found this fantastic little overview that describes Obama and McCain education policies.  I’ve been summing it up for you over the last several weeks but now that we are down to two candidates it’s time to start focusing on the role education will play in the 2008 presidential election.  CNN did a great nonpartisan clip of the two that you can see here.

I’m pretty sad that neither wants to get rid of No Child Left Behind and I think that to improve education, as well as several other problem we are currently facing, that the new president is going to have to raise taxes (something McCain doesn’t want to do and Obama says he’ll achieve by letting the tax cuts currently in place lapse).  Oh well.  It’s going to be an interesting few months!
