I hope you realize that anyone (including all previous presidents who were also senators or governors) who runs for president must delegate some of their responsibilities in order to pursue presidential candidacy. I commend Romney for deciding to "retire" instead of going through a full-fledged presidential campaign while also serving as governor (like many past presidents have done). History shows that most past governors who become president dedicate themselves to their campaign and when they win, the LT. Governor takes over as the interim governor. This is much more of a neglect of duty than the inconsequential traveling Romney has done in comparison with the many others (even Sen. Kerry from the same state). Besides, one important part of being a leader is to surround yourself with the best capable people so that you can efficiently delegate... no person can individually and solely run an entire state or country. That's why "support staffs" exist... to support.

It looks like Tucker Carlson has recovered from Jon Stewart

He lost the tie, and is talking about Romney on MSN:

Title V

We need you to act today.

Email and call your Senators to support Abstinence Education funding.

The federal funding for "Title V" Abstinence Education is set to expire by the end of the year.  Title V provides a crucial source of public funds for abstinence programs across the country.

A 2005 study confirmed the effectiveness of these programs in changing atitudes towards sexual behavior among teens.  As Bridget Maher of FRC points out:

Compared to their peers in a control group, teens who participated in abstinence programs had an increased understanding of the negative consequences of unwed sex. Also, the students viewed abstinence more favorably and unwed sex more negatively.

Recent statistics indicate that teen sexual activity is declining from its peak in the 1990s.  However, the distinct rise in explicit media does not bode well for sustaining this trend. As the internet gives teenagers unfettered access to obscenity, it is important that we provide an alternative message of sexual responsibility and personal integrity. 

A 2004 study published in Pediatrics definitively showed that teens exposed to sexual content on television were twice as likely to experiment with sex than those who avoided such media. Abstinence education in the public schools gives our children the skills and tools they need. Tell your Senator you support this important legislation.
