The Republicans have a proven track record of deficit spending. What they have yet to prove of late is how to reduce it. At least Clinton knew how. With hope, maybe Obama can demonstrate it as well. That might be overly optimistic, however. It's a rather dire economic situation.
Anyway, if you look at the numbers, Obama is spending more like a Republican than like a Democrat, but I chalk that up to the economic crisis...oh, and the wars Bush II started.
