Even Joe the Plumber has ditched McCain

You know how lately there have been a string of Republican endorsements of Barack Obama? Then there were rumors of strife and blame-laying in the McCain campaign. Next came the reports of Sarah Palin going ROGUE.

Well, poor John McCain. According to this MSNBC article, even Joe the Plumber has deserted John McCain.

While it is humorous to think about Joe standing John up, what was not at all funny about the rally that Joe skipped was that hundreds of school children were bussed in to it. According to the article, a school district official reported that "The entire 2,500-student Defiance School District was in attendance, ... in addition to at least three other schools from neighboring districts, one of which sent 14 buses." This is incredibly creepy - I would go absolutely through the roof to the point of investigating a law suit if my child were involuntarily bussed to a Republican political rally.

I guess the point is, NO STUDENTS SHOULD BE BUSSED TO ANY KIND OF RALLY. In Chester, PA where Obama held a rally at Widener University, the schools were closed for the day and the superintendent encouraged families to attend the rally, but no one was compelled to go, or bussed in.
