“Of course, Governor Bush understands the perspective of being a governor. He has worked in partnership, not always Republicans; this has not been solely a Republican success, although, it is a Republican philosophy. He has had to work with Democrats here in Congress as well, Democrats of the Texas delegation, Democrats in the Texas State House and the State Senate. He understands working across the aisle, and that is a real sign of leadership when somebody can, as Governor Bush has done, raise the priority of children over and above everything else, over and above the bureaucracy, over and above the politics and state as a public goal, the number 1 objective for education is to raise the achievement of all children. We are going to start with the ones who are suffering the most. We have seen the Governor of Texas accomplish that in his State. It has just been remarkable how that kind of leadership has brought all of us together toward that goal. What I am afraid of is that many Americans may not realize the conflict in vision between these two men running for President of the United States.”
