Politics Day Intro

Welcome back to School Stories! Today I will be telling you about our Politics Days. On Mondays, the focus will be on politics.

For example, I'll tell you about what I have learned most recently in my Iowa Caucuses class. I am taking a course from Iowa State University called Iowa Presidential Caucuses taught by Dr. Steffen Schmidt. Today and tomorrow I'm learning about John McCain and Barack Obama. For example, did you know that John McCain was a soldier in the Vietnam War? I learned that in my course today, in the video The Choice 2008, a PBS Frontline episode about the journey of 2008 presidential candidates John McCain (Republican) and Barack Obama (Democrat).

See you tomorrow, and have a good day!
