But, all the lefties here maintain that the route to prosperity and popularity is to keep increasing spending and taxation.
Quinn has followed that route.
Psst, Carl! Don't look now but your boys in Wisconsin and Ohio aren't exactly the most popular guys in the world.
Last time I checked, they were still more popular than Quinn.
That's not exactly an accomplishment.
But the point is slightly lost when the union-busters are still faring much better than Quinn. Granted, being a politician in Illinois is not exactly a recipe for popularity, so it's not as if we'd be expecting Quinn to do great or anything.
Except that Quinn has been governor two years now and has done even more unpopular things, like raising taxes.
OTOH, his Republican counterparts should have been enjoying their honeymoons now.
