I can't beleive that Kerry is ahead in any poll on the economy. The stock market is above 10,000 (a nearly 3000 point gain since Jan of '02), unemployment is at 5.6%, which is a figure that the clinton campaign was bragging about in 1996 and a figure that was touted in all the 'mainstream' media outlets at that time as a remarkable achievement by clinton's administration. Kerry has said nothing about his economic platform other than he plans to raise taxes and somehow create 10 million jobs in 4 years. I have yet to hear a follow up question to kerry asking him how exactly he plans to do this by over taxing the very people who would create these jobs. I guess the short answer is that they will all be newly created government jobs from which no one can be fired no matter how incompetent. But hey, those evil rich people (as well as the rest of us) will be paying higher taxes to keep those government coffers full, so everything will be fine. Be sure to practice your arabic if ketchup boy somehow wins the election.
