Economy on the Mend?

This just in from the New England Economic Partnership:
The New England Economic Partnership said New Hampshire is expected to be the only New England state to post faster job and overall economic growth than the nation through 2010, while Connecticut is expected to lead the six-state region in gross state product growth. (AP)

Well, that's something, right? At least we're doing better than Rhode Island.

An economy that is moving ahead, even just a little bit, will be good news for incumbents.

Of course, the bad news is that the economy of the region as a whole stinks. High taxes, high cost of living, really crappy weather, high demand for services and an aging, creaky infrastructure will do that.

I actually like the weather. But companies complain about heating/cooling costs.

I'll believe it when I see it--but that would be a decent ticket, Malloy/Bysiewicz would. It would also explain Mantilla's rather cryptic statement in her press release about serving the public in some other way.

Where's Audrey Blondin in all this? If, of course, it's even remotely true.
