I’ve identified seven large US states by four criteria that are sure to cause trouble for Washington’s political class at least for the next 3 years, through the 2012 elections. These are states with big populations, very high rates of unemployment, and which have already had to borrow big to pay unemployment claims. In addition, as a kind of Gregor.us kicker, I’ve thrown in a fourth criteria to identify those states that are large net importers of energy. The seven states to make my list are California, Florida, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, North Carolina, and New Jersey
why make it a "blue state" thing? nevada, arizona, and alaska, for instance, have worse budget gaps...

It remains to be seen if they can pull it off. Jersey is the union stronghold of all time.
