Robert M. - Tucson, AZ

A Progressive is an optimist who is confident that anything man ever does can, and should, be improved. A Progressive would see in education that a 'one size fits all' system is doomed to educational mediocrity in that if 'no child is left behind' the corollary is 'no child gets too far ahead'. In energy, a Progressive would grasp that fossil fuels are a dwindling finite resource and that alternative energy sources need to be vigorously pursued. A Progressive believes in a 'pay-as-you-go' economy, not one that runs up bills for future generations to pay.
