The economy is still a very important factor in Presidential elections whether we realize it or not. Had the 9/11 attacks not ocurred, the economy would have been *much* stronger by election time, and Bush would have won by a larger margin

Along with that, it has been estimates that the Main Stream Media gave Kerry as much as 15 points. Had they not been so one sided it would have been (even With 9/11) a 50 state Land slide.

Most observers about this time last year thought there was no contest, and the Democrats were wasteing their time.

But the MSM loves a horse race, and would paint the appearance of a tie game if The Pope was running against Hitler. (For those of you in the Democratic Party, let me put it in Simple termse: They'd be strongly pulling for Hitler).

This is really dangerous. The press almost elected a traitor and a clown. They almost suceeded.

The press knew what they were getting in John Kerry. Perhaps they figured he would be beholden to them since they could always out him as a fraud, a traitor, and a war criminal.
