* FridgeLogic: How did Lisa not know Isabel was a Republican UNTIL the report was being given in front of the whole school? This political report on Franklin Roosevelt most likely required a lot of research and collaboration, and it seems pretty unlikely these beliefs would not have come up at some point in the process.
