Actually, I do. With relative peace and 4.0% GDP growth, Bush should win 48 or 49 states.

After a rather severe drop in your stock on this forum, you are roaring back sir, sort of like a raging bull. LOL. Myself, I am one of those steady boring value stocks, with a price that is consistently pedestrian.

It's not just relative peace and GDP growth. It's got to be clear victories, and obvious, tangible security and improvement in the job markets.

There is a tremendous amount of fear out there in all the wrong places -- fear of terrorism of course, but also fear the middle class, well-established family men and women who are core Bush voters are worrying about their jobs in ways that they never were in past recessions. There isn't a college-educated person in America who doesn't have at least one good friend or family member, him/herself also college educated with a good profession, who's suffered being out of work for six months, a year or longer. I don't know many people who don't have half an eye on Monster.com for fear of layoffs, and this includes people who were in jobs that not to long ago were thought of as jobs for life. That fear is dangerous for us.

I mean, someone can be as conservative as the day is long -- but if he thinks voting for Dean or Kerrey could save him from exchanging his nice office with a view for a smock and register at Target, he'd do it.
