AA, we should clock in at about $700 Billion next year, so this year's just a warm up. Our man in the White House has a bit of the old Teflon coating on him, so I'm not sure how much of what people don't like about the administration will stick to him. There's also the matter of money. Money buys political office here. President Rove can raise probably $300-million for the re-election campaign, and you can buy a lot of negative ads with that money. The splintered and relatively weak opposition also plays into the plans of Rove. He's actually encouraging people to vote for and support Dean. Reagan asked, "Are you better off now than you were 4-years ago?". However, for every problem in this country, we have been given a convenient boogie man to blame. Rove is by far the shrewdest politician of my lifetime. Nobody entering the presidency in 2001 stood a chance at re-election. He's given himself a very good chance, which defies the odds. "No child left behind", while cutting Head Start 50%. It's fricken genius. Heck, he promised he would not get into the business of nation building, and looking at things, you really have to conclude he's kept his promise! LOL! I'm not a partisan either way right now. I'm just an entertained cynic looking at how this is playing out.
