Join Stephen Colbert, Help Schools AND "Vote" in the PA Democratic Primary
If you have a favorite candidate in the Democratic primary race, and you'd like a personal way to support students in public schools, Stephen Colbert wants you.
Wednesday night, Colbert called on viewers to go to DonorsChoose.org and to support a Pennsylvania classroom project in honor of Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. Every donation, as little as $10, pushes your favorite candidate higher in this "straw poll that makes a difference."
Check it out at DonorsChoose.org and make a donation of ANY size in honor of your favorite Democratic candidate. It should take no more than 2 minutes, and you can start here:

PLUS, your "vote" can specifically support Teach For America classrooms... just look for Teacher affiliation: Teach For America when you click on a project link (it's on the left).
And for fun, here's the video from the Colbert Report:

DonorsChoose.org is absolutely apolitical and non-partisan, and this is Stephen Colbert's initiative. But it's our opportunity to support public school classrooms, and we want to seize it.
On behalf of all the students who stand to benefit, thank you!

Poll #2: Is it time for Clinton to call it quits?
Unlike Huckabee, it's still possible for Hillary Clinton to win, but the momentum does not seem to be working in her favor. And as each caucus or primary passes, the nomination moves farther from her reach. Is it time for her to read the writing on the wall? Or does she have a right to stick it out as long as she has a fighting chance? Take our poll!
Poll #1: Is it time for Huckabee to call it quits?
Though mathematically it's virtually impossible for Huckabee to secure the nomination, he vows to keep going until a candidate has enough delegates to win. But is his continued campaigning hurting his party by not allowing everyone to unite behind McCain? Or does he have a duty to give more conservative voters (like him) an alternative to the more moderate McCain? Take our poll!
What are Superdelegates and Why Might They Decide the Nominee?
If you're paying almost any amount of attention to the presidential campaign, you have more than likely heard the term "superdelegate." But just who are they and what makes them so "super?"
