When Clinton was Prez, and you look beyond all that lewinski crap, you'll see that we had the strongest economy in the history of our country. We did this becasue Clinton raised minimum wages, gave insentives for companies to create new jobs here in teh US...(not just rebates), and I believe that the stock market boom was because of everyone in the middleclass had more $$ to invest. The Union members remember the good old days of the clinton era and want that back. Under W we've lost so many jobs, and if you pay attention, besides that 3 or 600 dollar check, he hasnt done much to create jobs here in th states. Instead huge companies and small are being rewarded for taking jobs that americans can do here and are bringing them to china... Now if you were a Union Member working for a huge company who is considering exporting jobs wouldnt you be scared???
Teachers favor Democrats because I believe that democrats are more willing to pump up school budgets... The No child left behind act was a good thing, but I believe that it took $$ out of the gifted child programs, music programs and art programs.. again i could be wrong on that-

thats my take..

Most learned economists would disagree with this analysis.
