Americans will vote for a pessimist? John F*ckin risks look more and more like Canada's beleagured Paul Martin.

>>Kerry stubbornly clings to his dark visions through thorn-covered glasses.
And nobody can find proof of his attacks...must be astrological predictions.

the New York Times' commitment to full employment for eccentrics "Eccentrics" must be the New Yawk colloquialism for what we call "lunatics".

What I can't understand is how so many people still think the economy is rotten. Poll after poll shows that. Now I generally take all polls with a grain of salt, but I'm begining to worry that the MSM has been successful in planting that meme in enough people. And the Bush 2004 team has done a terrible job in getting their message out so far.

What I can't understand is how so many people still think the economy is rotten. Depends on how the question is phrased -- or in what context. Notice how consumer confidence surveys -- which are done professionally, sans political bias -- show pretty bullish sentiment. Yet media 'horse race' polls shows the opposite. Both can't be right. Odds are the media polls are really push-polls whose questions are fashioned in such a way as to yield results that fit the media's 'Bad-economy' template. If people thought the economy was as rotten as the media polls say they do, the economy would screeched to a halt.

The economy is taking off so fast that I've been working 12-hour days and hardly have time to post here anymore. Orders in my company are nearly double what they were a year ago at this time. The biggest problem I am dealing with right now is backordered product. Last year my biggest problem was deciding who to laid off (I am a manager there). Now we are hiring.

i agree with your post.
we are having a heck of a time finding companys in st. louis that we can outsource too, to help us keep up with our customer backlog. also i cant find enough people to staff a third shift let alone enough qualified people to staff my first and second shifts. that 5.6% unemployment is basically full employment. those 5.6% are mostly people who only want to work 2 or 3 days a week for beer and cigarete mony or or ex high paid unionists who refuse to work for anything less than their last overpaid job.

THing is you need to take them with more than a GRAIN of salt. Polls don't just spin, they lie. The Blowout of '02 convinced me of that. They showed the rats even or even ahead in most of the senate races and they got their butts handed to them.
I think these polls are just to give sKerry talking points. As Hewitt so pithily put it, they don't pass the Laugh Test.

Anything less than about 5% unemployment gets to the point where all the good people are getting promoted and the 1st line customer service people are the dumbest, rudest, least helpful apples in the barrel. That's the only downside of full employment.

I am a investment-level collector.
From 2000-2003, many high-level items were up for auction and bidding was fierce. Prices realized were often extremely high when compared to book value.
Prices realized on eBay are very low right now. I checked w/someone who collects in a different area and they report the same: high quality appreciable items are going low or not selling on eBay.
I do some appraising in my general area of knowledge and I am advising collectors to hold on to their collections right now unless they really need to liquidate or have held so long they will profit even in a slow market.
The same thing happened when Reagan's policies finally took hold. When the markets are good and income is up, people unload their asset hedges and invest in the market.

Kerry not wanting to give up his senate seat is enough to convice me that he is convinced he isn't winning in November.
I think the RATS decided that this is a throw away election and will not risk Hillarys 100 mil and a senate seat. Kerry loses and goes right back to the senate. With Edwards not running for reelection, this would now seem to be the logical choice for VP.

hit the nail on the head you did.
interfaceing with the public seems to be a lost art
but then again those are some of the values we are losing to the P.C. jerks and their prophet, the aclu.
