Rich Republicans? Not yet. The red states are still number two, and working hard for a living.

From Jerry Bowyer in today's National Review Online:

Recently the Bureau of Economic Analysis released two reports which shed a lot of light on what’s really going on in American politics. The reports show beyond question that the states that went for George W. Bush in the last election are considerably poorer than the ones that went for Kerry. The notion that the GOP is the party of the rich simply doesn’t match the economic reality.
