The things they teach in school these days:
SOUTH BEND — Carmen Chandler, 19, didn't have a favorite in the presidential race before Friday night's televised debate between Sen. John McCain and Sen. Barack Obama.
"Now I'm leaning toward Obama," she said afterward.
Chandler, an Indiana University South Bend student from Mishawaka, was disturbed by McCain's support for additional nuclear power plants. "I'm an environmentalist," she said.
Yes, nuclear power would be so much worse for the environment than that wonderful burn-more-coal plan. I hate to break it to her, but nuclear power is one of the many things Obama isn't quite as against as he originally seemed to be.
