Economy again, quickly.

One more on the economy.

Jack Betts blogs that North Carolina voters are split on the big economy bill, mostly by party lines. Quoting Tom Jensen:

“The demographics that launched Barack Obama to a surprise victory in North Carolina last fall- African Americans, young voters, and women- are all in strong support of the bill. The ones that almost allowed John McCain to keep the state Republican- white voters and men- are considerably less supportive.

“What does that all add up to? Public opinion on the stimulus in North Carolina is probably more a referendum on the President than anything else.”

If this is true, it has to be the worst way of making a decision that could very well define the nation's domestic stability for the next few generations.
