On the recordApril 28, 2008
I just got back from Wyoming. I am in Wyoming almost every weekend. I travel to a different part of the State each time so I can see all the people. As a result, I do not do any polls. If you talk to more people in a weekend than pollsters cover when they do something, you can get a pretty good feel for what is happening. I did run across a national poll, and the poll said the No. 1 concern on the minds of people in America was jobs and the economy. They said the No. 2 concern was health care. There is an interesting little anomaly in No. 1 and No. 2, which is when you talk to people about No. 1, jobs and the economy, one of the reasons they are concerned about jobs and the economy is because they don't want to lose their health insurance. If their job disappears, they are out there in the market and they don't have the coverage. So I am going to talk about health care today.
