Dean Murphy surveys "the national mood" on the Bush economic proposal in today's New York Times. Here's Murphy's complete list of interviewees, in the order in which they're quoted:

* a mother and daughter, both Republicans, shopping in San Francisco in "a gated pedestrian district of boutiques and beauty salons that cater to the well-to-do."

* "a venture capitalist from Cambridge, Mass."

* "a telecommunications company manager in Denver"

* "a venture capitalist with Venrock Associates of New York"

* "the chief executive at an advertising agency in Richmond, Va."

* "a sales manager for a plastics manufacturer in Atlanta with a household income of nearly $200,000"

* a "sausage restaurant owner in Seattle"

* the owner of a used-book store in Seattle

* a "mother of four whose husband owns a surveying business"

* "a mother of three young children" from Addis, Louisiana (quoted last)

An astonishingly broad cross-section, no?
