"Scott Rasmussen, one of America's most innovative pollsters, thinks that, barring failure in the war on terrorism and collapse in the economy, America is going to become a majority-Republican country."

I would say _despite_ a collapsing economy.

In times of trouble, the people gravitate toward leaders whom they can trust, in their hearts, minds and soul. Think about it. If you owned a small business, and it fell on hard times, would you not double your efforts to keep the employees whom you trusted the most, even as you found it necessary to let go many others?

Don't fret if the economy doesn't recover for the 2004 election. Don't believe that old saw about a bad economy being bad for the incumbents. That only applies to the untrusted. Bush will do fine, very fine, in any case. And his coattails will be long indeed.

W has connected with the people, pure and simple. They see him as a good man and they trust him. That counts for lots in politics!

The economy has been on the up-swing for 3 straight quarters, The GDP has grown at a rate of 5.2% this year so far. I find that absolutely incredible considering what we had happen on Sept. 11th. I believe this past years growth will go down in history as an example of just how strong this country is. All these people who keep pounding the drum of negativity are only doing it in an effort to bring down George W. Bush. What I find very disturbing is that the Liberals would rather see the economy fail in hopes that it might give them a better chance in regaining power. I have nothing but contempt for people like this. Thank goodness for the internet and websites like this, where we can get the truth, methinks the democrats will never be in the majority again for 3 or more decades
