Oh, I'm not. I feel pretty good about the fall elections. I think Bush
has pretty much poisoned the well for any GOP hopeful.

Don't count your chickens yet. I'm a democrat that will most likely vote
republican this year... I'm not the only one I know of either.

Bye, bye GOP. :}
I though a recession in the last year of your presidency didn't count?
I'll give Harry the benefit of the doubt

"Hatzius is expecting the recession will be fairly mild, lasting only
6 months, with the economy declining by no more than 1 percent in any
quarter. .."

Then again, isn't this the same thing that Greenspan did the last year
of the Bubba?

"But that is based on his assumption that the Federal Reserve cuts
rates deeply and quickly, to 2.5 percent from its current 4.25
percent. He also believes that given election-year pressures, there's
likely to be some form of tax cut or rebate to try stimulate the
economy. "

What matters, if we have a recession, is the timing. If we are in a
recession just before the election, then it will hurt the Republicans.

If, if, if.................

Don't blow you wad over this Harry.

sucks already.
