New Jersey voters told pollsters this summer that they supported embryonic stem cell research by a margin of 71 percent to 19 percent.

Those are numbers you normally find only when you ask people if they love their mothers.

So the fact that those same voters soundly rejected the stem cell initiative on Tuesday's ballot was a shock, maybe even a turning point.

The meaning was unmistakable. Voters no longer trust Democrats to handle their money.

They're not ready yet to switch partners and hand power to Republicans. But they want their Democrats to sober up.
