Liberal Fail

Here is a factoid courtesy of Ramesh Ponnuru (Hat tip: Instapundit):

I wondered whether unemployment rates in states with Republican governors were lower than unemployment rates in states with Democratic governors.… It turns out that the population-weighted average unemployment rate in states with Republican governors is 7.6 percent. The number for states with Democratic governors in 8.8. In other words, blue America (defined in terms of governors) has a higher unemployment rate than red America.
