Numerical order for Red and for Blue would make more sense than alphabetical for each, I think.
Certaionly the unemployment rate is higher in Obama regions .
Look who voted for him. That should answer any questions you may have.
If the stats were switched the msm flunkies would make this front page & headline news for weeks.
So some of it is reflective of the economic situation in the state, but that's not the whole picture.

Look at it dynamically, month by month.
This is where the riots in the streets will start. Obozo should worry more about those he duped, than about us Red Necks.
Blue States are hit the worst. This surprises anyone?
Crime too! I would guess that most murderers and rapists are registered Dems. (not to excuse anyothers)
Good post. Thanks. The philosophical underpinnings of “you owe me”, “I’m a victim”, “tax the rich” are amped up in ‘rat/socialist/progressive/commie/criminal/plunder-the-producer strongholds.
I don’t get it. According to Glen Beck, there is no difference. That’s why we need a 3rd party - an independent candidate could peel off libertarian-leaning and secular/fiscal conservatives from the GOP (and hand Obama a landslide victory!!).

In 1982, the Republicans lost a lot of seats in the house. Traditionally, this has been blamed on higher unemployment. However, I’ve read pretty convincing articles that the real reason was actually 1980 redistricting. In the senate, Republicans didn’t lose any seats in 1982. (An independent seat went Dem, and then in 1983, Republicans won a special election).
Two words = Government Jobs
Someone was quoted recently that rolling back privatization would provide 600,000 new government jobs. Not NEW jobs, government jobs. (Sorry I don’t remember who said it.)
I love it.Stupidity should be painful,very painful.
Not really a surprise with left wing governors, left wing legislators and left wing mediots pushing anti business liberalism 24/7/365.
We “ain’t” seen nothing as the unions in these blue states will be pushing some pretty out rageous demands.
One I can’t identify yet due to negotions and no documentation. Apparently, the union that services specific businesses statewide lost a lot of pension funds during the economic meltdown. So now they are demanding that the employers make up the losses and even fund the losses from this year and following years due to the fund being down last year and this year.
looters will always fair worse than the ambitious up turn OR downturn...According to the title, the information is from April 2009. But the source at the bottom states, "U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Unemployment Rates for States, March 2008.
Oops! Even the US Bureau of Labor Statistics couldn't come up with 2009 numbers in 2008. Please clarify. Thanks.
Wow this is again good news this morning reading FR love happy news.
BUMP!
IF David Littman is right (former Economist for Comerica) MI will be 17 to 20% by the end o the year. Even thought it is one state, my guess id OH and IN will increase as well to really skew the numbers much higher for the Blue States.
Bad economic news is always good news for Democrats.
When the economy tanks and people lose their jobs, homes, and savings, they become dependent on government handouts and eventually become addicted to government handouts. And, just as drug addicts keep going back to their dealers for a fix, government addicts likewise keep going back to THEIR dealers. That would be their Democrat politicians. A tanking economy means more government addicts and therefore more votes for THEM.
Sabotaging the economy is job #1.
This ain’t rocket surgery.....
This is a result. It’s a plan.
