Okay, Personal In A Different Way Now
CHARLESTON, S.C. -- A user asks whether the candidates have or would send their children to public or private school. A rundown of their answers:
John Edwards said his children go to public school. Hillary Clinton said her daughter went to public school in Arkansas, but went to private school for high school when they came to Washington. Barack Obama said his children go to private school at the U of Chicago where he used to teach. Joe Biden said his two sons went to private school after his wife died in a car crash. Dennis Kucinch said his daughter went to public schools in Cleveland. Mike Gravel said his children went to both public and private schools. Chris Dodd said his young children go to public preschool. Bill Richardson does not have any children.
In a semi-unrelated observation, the camera has flashed to Elizabeth Edwards at least twice if not three times when her husband has referenced her.

There needs to be an * alongside Edwards' comment about his children going to public schools.
ABC News reports, in 'Edwards Chose Land Based on Better School District' that the Edwards' admit they moved because they were "interested in the school district there."
Most Americans - probably 90% or better - cannot afford to go 'school district shopping,' so Edwards' aren't exactly sending their children to hometown schools.
