4V50Gary, you're on the mark with that comment. We've got the Nasdaq down over 40% from its highs in March. The economy is slowing down, yet the press has _yet_ to link it to any politician. Remember 1992, when the press waited until three weeks after the election to announce that the "recession" was over? If Bush gets in, look for the talking heads to blame the coming economic slowdown on him. Of course, should Gore steal the election and the congressional Republicans stonewall him every chance they get, the economy will be their fault. In some respects, it might almost be better if Gore were to steal this election: the "talk" on the
TV shows would never stop about his legitimacy; he would get zero cooperation from the GOP in congress, and might even have a tough time rallying some within his own party (Breaux, for example); the conservatives would be ultra-motivated for the 2002 elections while the liberals would just be content that they "won" this year and stay home. I've thought about it a lot, and it might even be a better scenario than Bush winning. Thoughts?
