Cultural references
- The episode title is a reference to Isabel's political affiliation. In American politics, the term "right" is associated with conservative values and with the Republican Party. (Conversely, "left" is associated with liberal values and with the Democratic Party.)
- The episode title may also be a reference to either the 1979 rockumentary The Kids Are Alright or, more likely, the 2010 comedy-drama film The Kids Are All Right.
- The significance of John Kerry, Michael Dukakis and Walter Mondale appearing in ghostly forms during Lisa's "losers" nightmare is that all three are Democrats who lost U.S. presidential elections: 2004, 1988 and 1984 respectively.
- A Hypnotoad and Space blob from Futurama are in the audience at the future presidential debate.
Continuity
- When Homer and Bart sings a rap about the Super Bowl, Bart sings the line: "If you try to run, you'll get a heart attack" (a reference to the season 4 episode, "Homer's Triple Bypass").
Goofs
- At the beginning of the episode, the kids exit through the front doors of the school, a sign reading "Springfield Elementary School" above the doors. When we are shown a further view of the school, it is the back of the school the kids have exited onto.
