It Is Not Just the Economy Stupid!

When Democratic strategist James Carville told the American public, “It’s the economy stupid!”, he was attempting to frame the upcoming elections in his own terms. Across the political spectrum we hear continuous lamentations about the state of the economy and how voter’s economic concerns will determine the political direction of the nation in the next election.

The state of the economy continues to be the issue that political commentators and the media proclaim as the number one concern facing Americans in the upcoming election of 2012.
