As Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton race around Ohio and Texas for tomorrow's primaries, they are telling a tale of economic woe. Yet the real story isn't how similar the two states are economically but how different. Texas has been prospering while Ohio lags, and the reasons are instructive about what works and what doesn't in economic policy.
There is Ohio's problem in a nutshell. Instead of looking in a mirror, the democrats do what they do best. Blame someone else for their own problems. From the politicians down to the very last constituent.
The best thing for us is these two to keep fighting right up to the roll call of the states at the convention.
My greatest fear is that one of the two gives in to become the VP soon, and unites the ticket.
McCain better make good use of this free time.
