WHEN ELECTORATES TURN ANGRY

Chuck Todd writes about the angry electorate. Mr. Todd believes that the electorate is angrier than any of the pundits imagined. In fact, he thinks it is more than anger, it is distrust of the government itself. He raises what happened in Utah, New Jersey and Oregon as proof of this proposition. In Utah, the voters said no to state government leaders who wanted to start a private school voucher program. In New Jersey, voters struck down a proposal to expand stem cell research. In Oregon voters said no to a cigarette tax increase to pay for expanded health care.
