The law of permutation shows you can draw no parallel from one to the other meaning they are just numbers and numbers do not vote.

This is what makes people vote what they know from their real life. GW gets to spend the next few months discussing basic issues that touch our lives.

1. Average earnings of rank-and-file private-sector workers have increased since Bush took office, though modestly. Even after adjusting for inflation -- including the rising price of gasoline --those earnings are up just over 1% since January 2001, despite the recession and the initially slow recovery.

2. Solid growth in employment in relatively higher -paying occupations including construction workers, health-care professionals, business managers, and teachers.

3. Comparing the most recent 12 months employment has increased by more than 1 million in categories that on average paid above the median earnings of $541 per week, while employment was virtually unchanged in categories paying below the median.

4. The budget for the Department of Education has grown 58% under Bush, and he's proposing another 5% increase next year, including sizeable increases in spending for children from low-income families and for special education for disabled children.

5. Spending for veterans benefits has grown 27% since Bush took office, and the ranks of veterans drawing benefits have increased by more than 1 million.

6. Kicked the snot out of and ousted the Taliban.

7. Freed the people of Iraq from a repressive murderer who if given the chance would have also murdered innocent American citizens.

8. Has kept our streets here safer by sending thousands of terrorist to met their 72 virgins on their land not ours.

Kerry will spend the remainder of the campaign fighting the Swfitboat issue and trying to convince people that he is trustworthy not on the issues. Simply because he built his campaign around 4 months 34 years ago in which a big chunk of his resume on that matter is suspect.
