Running Mates

So, Barack Obama has said he wouldn't be running mate on a Clinton campaign. Good call sir (if a little reminiscent of one Matthew Santos). I'm still to be convinced that the USA would vote for a woman over a war vet. But McCain is your George Bush Senior.. he's a one termer (very likely he will preside over a nasty little economic downturn: maybe even a bagel!). That leaves the field for Obama to take it in 2012 (wow is the London Olympics only 4 years off, craziness).

That said he'll probably win it.. Mississippi votes tonight. It will go all the way to the convention barring some scandal!

As for the Reps.. think Mitt Romney is positioning for V-P.. hmm..

Your vocabulary aged 5 is half what it is for a rich kid if you are in the bottom ten percent of income. Housing tenure stats are even worse. "Only 4 per cent of those of working age living in social housing have degrees, and nearly half have no or only low qualifications. Only half of men and 42 per cent of women of working age living in social housing are in paid work, compared with 89 per cent of men and 81 per cent of women in households with a mortgage." Social housing: by its nature, is grouped (london people ignore this, you are the freaks not the norm). That means that we have allowed ghettoes of poverty and low attainment (not just in a SATS way either). Now it would be easy, and some daft Tory has already done it, to pin this on
