LT,

Anyone that understands macro-economics knows that economic trends don't just happen and make them selves know magically---there is a lag period of cause and effect, and we saw economic decline the latter half of 2000 before we officially saw two quarters of consecutive downturn in the begining of 2001.

Nice try though.

I like the title of your thread---"Bush will prevail"---apparently you've been looking at the polls recently.
