It's an interesting thesis. The US economy is strong. But one major difference is Australia isn't under direct attack like we are.

I think Bush needs to balance both. Economy and WOT. He did a reasonable job of tying the two together in the last debate, explaining how the economy was hurt by the terror strikes, maybe a little more this time.

Could be why Kerry looked gut punched when Bush tagged him as a LIBERAL. I would punch the LIBERAL label for all it's worth if it were me in the ring with Kerry.

Actually, they are. Remember the Bali bombings?
