The American appetite for Ramboism has it's limits, and the last election bore some warnings for those paying attention to such things. In 2004, people will remember the golden days of the NASDAQ bubble and think Democrat, and they will remember 9/11 and thing Republican. The truth is largely reversed, but that's not what counts. It's way, way too early to predict what will happen in the 2004 elections. Heck, nobody could predict a victory for Mike Bloomberg even one day before the election, so it's impossible to say what will happen a long three years from now.
