Thanks for the ping, Cal.

So far, I am not a Thompson supporter because I don’t know what he’s all about yet. I’m waiting to hear him give more specifics. And I’d like to see how well he performs in a debate. Also, I’m not convinced that he really wants the job. It seems more like he was pushed into it.

However, this article doesn’t turn me against him, either. I don’t think education should be government-funded at all, so if a few colleges receive a sum of money, it’s just more of the same old thing. I’d have to measure it against what other colleges are receiving and the reasons why.

About him receiving money for something in TN, well, that’s his home state. About his support for the NCLB: I’ve come across many homeschoolers who object to NCLB, too, but then again, those are NJ (anti-GOP) homeschoolers. The way I see it, if the schools want money, they’d better show they’re doing the job. I’ve always agreed with the NCLB. Any excuse not to give them money is fine with me.

So, those things won’t make me not support Fred, but then again, I’m not supporting him at this point, anyway. Duncan Hunter has caught my interest, but I haven’t made a decision yet. Waiting to see what happens in 2008...
