Not really, the Democrats in the General Assembly have a veto proof majority in both the House and the Senate and Carcieri just won re election last year and is term limited out. Governor Carcieri is the one sane voice in State Government and he takes a beating day in and day out here. The Providence Journal has declared an editorial jihad on the conservative politics of this Governor.
Lord save the North East.
Yes they do. I think the gay marriage issue shows there is venerability in the North if the GOP would just use the issue as well as financial issues to attack the Democrat occupiers.
The people in so many Democrat run states pay huge amounts in taxes and are getting very little in return. Why the GOP can not or will not speak to “the people” in these states I can not understand. Instead they run campaigns like they are running for a school board election. The way to win elections in the snowy north is to generate enough heat to melt through the snow.
The Providence Journal is controlled by Belo out of Dallas. Texas. Until the current generation, Belo was conservative. The good news is that the liberals now in charge are rapidly running it into the ground.
