Here's the thing, social issues will not carry this election. There are too many far more important issues going down that affect people in their everyday lives. The job loss is SO BAD in the south that I doubt very seriously Bush carries all of the south. And I doubt republicans carry the house and senate either.

Bush was given the keys to the castle in 00. He inherited a recession but it would have been minor had he managed it the way other presidents manage the US economy. Instead he and his cronies raped and pillaged the entire nation. The job growth in this recovery has been tremendous- in india and china. We could have had a boom here, but instead we lost all that capital. Bush sucks.

Economists on the nightly business report are stating that this expansion (if you can call it that) has another 9 mos or so to go, TOPS and then we are back into recession. Fortunately Bush will be gone by that time so we won't have another 4 years of hollowing out.

As Bush talked security, Carolinians talked jobs
As it happened, Bush visited Charleston, not Columbia, and he chose to talk more about the war on terrorism, port security and homeland defense than the economy. But the headline here put an exclamation point on the reality that greeted all the Democratic candidates who campaigned in last Tuesday's primary — a reality that helped power populist Sen. John Edwards to his 15-point victory.

In this time of what is advertised as booming economic growth, a lot of people — including some who ought to be Republicans — are hurting for work.

But even in South Carolina, as I learned from talking with Republican Gov. Mark Sanford, the economy is a big political and policy worry. I went by to see Sanford the day after the primary, and the first thing he said was that "the angst that Edwards picked up on is palpable and real."
