Thanks for the input. I don't think the 2004 election will be about the economy, particularly after all the action of this week, and assuming the stock and real estate markets continue to chug along OK.

The 2004 elections may very well not be about the economy on a nationwide level, but they will near certainly be about the economy in Washington State. In 2000, Washington had as low as 4.2% unemployment; in 2003, Washington currently has 7.3% unemployment (sorry, it's Oregon with 8.1%). Whatever the stock & real estate markets might do nationwide (within reason), it's not going to make much difference for Washington. (Seattle, BTW, is one of the few places that's experienced a real estate bust). We shall see.
