Here's what is apt to happen. If this present idiot in the White House manages to deep-six the economy the Democrats will put up a farther left candidate who will win. The turnout will be lousey because the choice presented to the American people will be between death by lethal injection (Bush) and death by hanging (Democrat). When the Democrats win the Republicans will decide it is because they were not far enough left to take votes from the Democrats and the Republicans will run Trotsky for president the next election.

The only way out of this senario is if Bush is still in a crisis and war environment. If such an evironment does not exist it will be a repeat of the Bush senior fiasco and the suckers can still somehow blame Ross Perot.

I fount this snippet interesting:

Job creation rate is worst since '50s

The only bright spot was that the unemployment rate was unchanged. But even that is misleading because it excludes 191,000 jobless people who simply stopped looking for work and therefore are not counted by the government. They would have added another half-percent to the unemployment rate, economists said. The previous month, 390,000 people were excluded from the count.
