The tax cuts and the low interest rates have taken effect. Taxpayers, and especially homeowners with low, refinanced mortgages, now have a whole lot more money to spend. This is not a short-term phenomenom - - the positive effects on the economy will last for years. Most people in this country are better off now than they were five years ago.

The next step involves oil prices.

Look for a significant drop in oil prices over the next 6 months to finish the job of boosting the US economy like a rocket. Bush can and will make it happen - - timing is everything. The economy should be roaring about a year from now. And with it, new private-sector job creation is inevitable.

The single most important thing that George W. Bush understands is that "the economy, stupid" will either reelect or unelect him. He has known this from the beginning - - his Dad's defeat by Clinton left its mark on the Bush family. Nothing like that will happen again. Count on it.

Every since President Bush entered the White House, the Democrats (and some on this forum) have underestimated him.

The Democrats have not changed their playbook in forty years, is it so hard to belive that the President and his advisors have not worked out plans on what to do under certain situations?

Everyone seems worried by Hillary. I don't, beause the President has shown he is looking at the long term, which means he and his advisors have figured a way to neutralize her. I have no idea what it is, and will be just as surprised as anyone else.

This next campaign should remind us of what the Duke Wellington's said of the Battle of Waterloo and the charge of Napoleon's Imperial Guard at the crisis of the battle: "They came on in the same old way, and we killed them in the same old way!"

If you keep doing the same thing, sooner or later the other side will work out a way to defeat you. The Democrats do not seem to understand that the world as they knew it has changed, but the real beauty of this is that they have set up their own defeat when they configured the primaries in such a way a moderate can not win.

We may be seeing that most rare of events, the demise of a polictical party. It has happened before when the party no longer represented a large enough group to get elected, and was unable to change.
