Prior to the election, I heard speak at a Tea Party meeting where he was unsuccessful at defending Common Core.  He seemed very surprised that the Tea Party did not support Common Core and seemed to be unprepared to defend his position in front of Conservatives.   I believe that the Tea Party was ultimately responsible for his defeat.  They did not like his ISTA Union Organizer opponent, Glenda Ritz; but, they liked common Core even less.  Indiana’s GOP establishment needs to keep that in mind as they evaluate Common Core.  Apparently the Tea Party is taking notes.  </content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12703782/904512920990362849/comments/default/2996759580012605861'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12703782/904512920990362849/comments/default/2996759580012605861'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://advanceindiana.blogspot.com/2013/08/more-on-tony-bennetts-downfall.html?showComment=1376165688898#c2996759580012605861' title=''/><author><name>Greg Wright</name><uri>https://www.blogger.com/profile/01601703196227119992</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='//2.bp.blogspot.com/-rZR9qEKjWuQ/XpH44Y6t5EI/AAAAAAAADmA/Qlp-hkkDC-gNzhuNk0vAz4gGFvaORusUACK4BGAYYCw/s220/Greg%2BWright%2Bpicture%2B3.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://advanceindiana.blogspot.com/2013/08/more-on-tony-bennetts-downfall.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-904512920990362849' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12703782/posts/default/904512920990362849' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.itemClass" value="pid-1300248630"/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.displayTime" value="3:14 PM GMT-5"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-2840110232386623310</id><published>2013-08-10T11:30:19.080-05:00</published><updated>2013-08-10T11:30:19.080-05:00</updated><title type='text'>I am not sure what Tony Bennett&amp;#39;s goal was aft...</title><content type='html'>I am not sure what Tony Bennett&amp;#39;s goal was after reading his E-Mail except to re-affirm his loyalty to Daniels and Bush. I also caught that sentence where Bennett is hoping for a seat on a life boat, by implication he wants seats for his family too. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The whole idea IMHO is to push the Privatization Agenda of Education and have the tax payers pick up the tab. Socialize the cost and Privatize the profits. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bennett does not address the cause of his downfall or his own responsibility.   </content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12703782/904512920990362849/comments/default/2840110232386623310'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12703782/904512920990362849/comments/default/2840110232386623310'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://advanceindiana.blogspot.com/2013/08/more-on-tony-bennetts-downfall.html?showComment=1376152219080#c2840110232386623310' title=''/><author><name>Flogger</name><uri>https://www.blogger.com/profile/10383015097067413086</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://advanceindiana.blogspot.com/2013/08/more-on-tony-bennetts-downfall.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-904512920990362849' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12703782/posts/default/904512920990362849' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.itemClass" value="pid-239220855"/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.displayTime" value="11:30 AM GMT-5"/></entry></feed>
