It depends...
By: Chris Baker (Chris) on November 3rd, 2010 at 1:44 pm I think the idea that either of our two parties is going to do a good job at governance inherently because of their respective party's historical campaign rhetoric and brand indentity is preposterous. Our new governor will do as good of a job - or not, as he is able to, regardless of his political affiliation. The same goes for the other newly elected officials. If they do well, as citizens we win. If they don't, as citizens we suffer for it. This holds true for everyone, Republican or Democrat or otherwise.
The day after the election, what do we have to base answers to this sort of question on? Rhetoric? Marketting run amok in the form of campaign ads? We're not going to find out the real answers until the people have had a chance to try - and possibly fail. Good luck to them good luck to us.
