the battleground looks to be a referrendum on the economy and on Iraq. Right! The economy, the economy and, finally, the economy will be the issue Dems can win with. That is, if they can win at all. If, by Fall, Bush can get the unemployment rate below 5% and a semblance of real elections and a stable government in Iraq, he is untouchable.
I have little doubt about success in Iraq. The economy if iffy, but if recovery continues it will generate wealth, which has to generate jobs, though certain geographic sectors will continue to feel pain for some time.

The economy is iffy, but if recovery continues it will generate wealth, I can't speak for you, but my 401K and other investments have done extremely well in the past year.

QUICK what was the unemployment rate in 1984? In 1996?
Today it is 5.6% and falling.
IMHO the media is playing up 'no jobs' but the jobs situation is not really that dire. the economy is stonger than the media will acknolwedge. Hopefully the strength of the economy will become so obvious even the media wont be able to shrug it off.
