Here are the names of 17 states: Kansas, Maine, Michigan, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Alabama, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Georgia, South Carolina, South Dakota and Iowa.

What do these states have in common? Each one elected a Republican governor in 2010. There is one thing more that these states have in common. Every one of them has decreasing unemployment.

What does that tell you?
