Candidate Caught Saying "Art"

Bravo to art blogger CultureGrrl for noticing the Presidential campaign's first fleeting mention of the arts, in the Democratic "You Tube" debate:

RICHARDSON: I would have a major federal program of art in the schools...
(APPLAUSE)
... music, dancing, sculpture, and the arts.
(APPLAUSE)
I guess when you're running 4th, it's safe to say it. And only in the context of education and "the children!"

Not sure whether Mayor Michael Bloomberg's new Web site means he is going to run for President or not, but it has an entire section under "issues" devoted to "arts and culture."
