Yawn! Let's do the math. Liberal Yale economist Ray Fair has perfected a model that predicts election outcomes. Recently, his model has been re-estimated by the well-respected Macroeconomic Advisors of St. Louis. Both models came within a few tenths of a percent of accurately predicting the popular vote in 2000. Taking into account today's strong economy, both predict a Bush victory with roughly 60 percent of the vote come November. townhall.com Plug and play with your own numbers: fairmodel.econ.yale.edu QTR GDP* Administration <font color=red> 1Q00 1.0% Clinton 2Q00 6.4% Clinton 3Q00 (0.5%) Clinton 4Q00 2.1% Clinton </font><font color=blue> 1Q01 (0.2%) Bush 2Q01 (0.6%) Bush 3Q01 (1.3%) Bush 4Q01 2.0% Bush 1Q02 4.7% Bush 2Q02 1.9% Bush 3Q02 3.4% Bush 4Q02 1.3% Bush 1Q03 2.0% Bush 2Q03 3.1% Bush 3Q03 8.2% Bush 4Q03 4.0% Bush *Seasonally adjusted at annual rates </font> bea.gov
