She is thrilled until Isabel reveals that she is a Republican and to make matters worse, when Lisa asks her if she is a Lincoln or a Reagan Republican or even a George H. Bush Republican, Isabel says no. The two girls end up running against each other for class president, and the Springfield Republican Party tells Isabel they are thrilled with her decision and want to offer their services, as she is the kind of Latina voter the GOP will need in the future. However, Isabel tells them to butt out, because she is not going to be "owned" by them. The GOP decides to use some dirty tricks anyway, and Lisa is angry with Isabel when she thinks her classmate supported the actions, but respects her when she learns the local GOP people are just acting like jerks.
