In this race, Bush has shown less negativity, less undercutting and more morals. Bush voters also claimed agreement with the Republican Party as a factor in their decision. Most of Bush's student supporters endorsed the Republican candidate because of specific issues and how those issues affect their lives rather than GOP ideology. Freshman ROTC student Jonathan Jordan said he voted for Bush because of his military support. This increase in pay would allow ROTC students more time for their studies and decrease time spent at after school jobs.
Education hits close to home for students and was on their issue agenda.
Senior finance and accounting major Joseph Perrone explained the long-term consequences of improving education. I like Bush's plan to evaluate teachers by making them take mandatory tests. It's sad when people live in areas with a below average public education. Under Bush's plan, families in these areas will receive vouchers. Social Security, typically one of the deciding factors for older voters, found its way into the voting booth with young Bush supporters.
