I wouldn't lump Whitman in with the others. She was the only one who actually cut taxes and spending. Unfortuantely, 7 years wasn't enough time to undo decades of damage. It would've taken several more Republican administrations do really get something done.

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whitman cut taxes all right - A LOT! Then she DIDN'T cut programs, payroll or expenditures. What do YOU think the result of that was?

Also, Whitman gave the Easy Pass contract to a bunch of crooks, and pretty much wasted her term of office demonstrating how much of a leftist liberal she was.

When she got herself appointed as EPA chief under Bush, probably Witt Eisenberg's money, she proceeded to demonstrate how little she knew of that subject. Then she tried to cut the feet off the guy who put her there (Bush).

After she left office she wrote a book which went NOWHERE called "Its My Party TOO" - all about how the Republican party is a Big Tent that should have room for limousine liberals and Rockefeller Republicans like her.

Maybe she should write a book about how the Democrats should make room for conservatives.

Its not without reason that Ann Coulter refers to her as "birdbrain" in one of her books.

Whitman's fiscal irresponsibility started New Jersey on its road to economic ruin. McGreevey and his successors just helped push it along a lot faster.

A lot of the damage has been done by the courts, not by the elected officials. Google Mount Laurel II for a good description of how to destroy a wealthy area. A lot of the other damage is done locally. The people rarely vote in the local elections and the politicians know it. They end up dealing with the loud mouths, the ones they know will stir up a storm if they don't get their way. A very small number of people influence the governments there.

I am delighted to have left.
