I remember conversations on here earlier this week that the media was promoting the number 7% so that it could come out at 6.8% and their headlines could be "Economy falls short of predictions".

Well now what are they going to do?

Even the NY Times has had to admit, in print, that the Bush Tax cuts are the primary fuel in the economic engine right now.

You're right, I remember hearing that exact prediction (that the economy would prove to fall short of expectations) somewhere. The dem candidates must be crying in their beer at this point.

Now if we can just turn things in Iraq around, the election will be all sewed up . Dorothy Rabinowitz had a good article on Opinion Journal about the Democratic debate. She said that they were making a Republican campaign commercial, that all the Republicans needed to do was play video tape of the various remarks by the candidates to show their unelectability.
