This is what the 2008 Electoral Map would look like if the Election were decided by 18-29 year olds

This just shows the reasons why Republicans have fought so hard to cut additional funding for Schools and Higher Education away from the Stimulus Bill. Education is the enemy of conservative ideology.

What California and the United States have both in common?

What California and the United States both have in common?

1) Both are world economies: The USA is the #1 economy in the world while California is the 5th largest economy of the world.

2) Both hold huge budget deficits: The USA holds over a trillion dollar deficit while California holds a 42 billion dollar deficit.

3) The top executives who managed the state economies in the last 8 yrs are republicans.

4) Both, the USA and CA, were in much better financial shape before the republican executives took over.

Just coincidence and bad luck or is this another example of how incompetent are republicans in managing the taxpayers resources?

Gallup: Dems lead in party ID in 44 states


http://crooksandliars.com/silentpatriot/gallup-dems-lead-party-id-44-states

Call it the Obama effect or call it the George Bush effect. Whatever you call it, its name is "bad news" for the Republican Party.

Gallup:

The political landscape of the United States has clearly shifted in the Democratic direction, and in most states, a greater proportion of state residents identified as Democrats or said they leaned to the Democratic Party in 2008 than identified as Republicans or leaned Republican.

As recently as 2002, a majority of states were Republican in orientation. By 2005, movement in the Democratic direction was becoming apparent, and this continued in 2006. That dramatic turnaround is clearly an outgrowth of Americans' dissatisfaction with the way the Republicans (in particular, President George W. Bush) governed the country.

With Democratic support at the national level the highest in more than two decades and growing each of the last five years, Republican prospects for significant gains in power in the near term do not appear great. But the recent data do show that party support can change rather dramatically in a relatively short period of time.

America a "center-right" nation? Give me a break.
