The Kerry Strategy Ten I think this post or remark or whatever it was was a fairly astute observation -- it may well be that Rove has simply given Kerry enough rope to allow him to hang himself. However, I don't agree with the implication that an honest run on the economy would have been beneficial for Kerry. Bush has a great deal of credibility on the economy. It is clear he inherited a recession. Then, there was 9/11 and the corporate scandals -- none of which can reasonably be blamed on Bush. Yet, the economy is in pretty shape -- unemployment moderate and dropping, interest rates low, no real inflation. In fact, the traditional Reagan "Misery Index" is better than average under Bush, and is lower than in ANY of Clinton's first four years. The Misery Index is so low, in fact, that Kerry had to invent a new one to try and create a false economic disaster: factcheck.org I think Kerry would have a very tough time making an "It's the Economy, Stupid" claim. It isn't the economy. By any reasonable expectation, our economy would have been devastated during the last 4 years, yet tax cuts clearly pulled it out. Kerry doesn't want to run on the economy, I don't think.
