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.
- 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.
