09 Exit Polls: Voters Approve of Obama, Wary of Economy

sanity? like bush?

??

George Bush is not part of the discussion anymore. This is a backlash over concern for deficit spending and the handling of the economy.

RS, can you read? Est71 said a return to sanity. I would like to know what sanity.

and i'm no fan of the economic team, and certainly not of how the bank situation has been handled and wasteful incentive programs, but i doubt you'd like to see what would have happened without any spending, fiscal and monetary. why was the spending necessary? because of 8 years of obama's profligacy? remind me to throw up some info on Bush's tax cuts. but i'm sure you'll have some simple explanation there. even with the easing unemployment is close to 10%.

you're clearly not of a historian's bent. W. will be part of the discussion forever. as much as the republicans would like to see it otherwise. so will newt, cheney, ashcroft, etc. this isn't the kremlin, you can't just airbrush out of history those you didn't care for.

you bore me.

Thank god.

Corzine was just a horrible governor. Forget the party lines, the guy was just not qualified.

> remind me to throw up some info on Bush's tax cuts.

Yes, because it was the tax cuts that cratered the economy.
suuuuure....

Many of the guilty parties (or at least their wives) are still in office. Barney Frank, anyone?

Next year's elections should be excting. Hopefully Gov. Paterson will stay in the race and get the nomination to run for a second term. He should NOT drop out under any circumstances. Doing so would be an insult to the people of NY.

Sincerely,

The Republican National Committee

There was a time that this place was about real estate, not the usual partisan politics. But, then again, since even the Dining In section of today's NYT has chummy article about the Obamas, there is no safe haven from grandstanding political opinion.

SO happy! Hannity may be creeping back!

What the heck does this have to do with "Anti-Democratic". Democrats as a whole have a much higher approval rating than Republicans.

This is about local issues. Period. It has nothing to do with the Democrat party or Obama. I live in NJ at the moment, and voted for Christie. I am a liberal democrat who normally favors democrats, I approve Obama (like most people) and would vote for him again. Corzine was an awful, awful governor.

I have to give you taht montclair18. There were other issues at play with Corzine. clearly.

I thought I'd like Corzine when he was elected to the senate... I wanted him to win.

Took a couple years, but then I realized he was just AWFUL.
