No matter how you slice and dice it, R.T. will lose votes because his
children are at Breck. Actually the 50% graduation story makes the situation
worse. I looks like he is bailing out of the failing school system he would
be perceived as leading. If his lottery problem has been fixed, he may have
to follow the Gallmon route and re-enroll in public schools. This situation
reminds me of my earlier days in Chicago. Union activists would check to see
what make of car was in front of your house. If it was a "foreign car", you
got no labor support.
