Is it really over?

Apparently, it's all over but the shoutin'... or, in this case, speechmakin'. Obama wins, Clinton concedes, life goes on. And still, is education a big issue in the race?

78% of voters call it a top priority - see the quote and link from the Pew Poll below. Maybe the candidates will start paying better attention. Obama has come out and said that everyone should be bilingual or trilingual. I agree. Let's fund it.

Overview: McCain's Negatives Mostly Political, Obama's More Personal: "The survey finds that just 18% say they are satisfied with state of the nation - the lowest percentage in two decades of People-Press polls. Reflecting the widespread unhappiness with the national economy, an overwhelming proportion of respondents say the economy (88%) and jobs (78%) will be very important in their vote. In addition, roughly three-quarters each name healthcare, education, energy and Social Security as very important."
