<<That perhaps put Bush over the top in Florida, Nevada and Arizona.>>

Florida and Nevada, yes. Arizona, no....this place is dyed-in-the-wool Republican; Barry Goldwater was a native son. The economy is not that bad here (because there was a small manufacturing base to begin with), and although there has been moderate housing price appreciation, it's been nothing like NV or FL. And Shrub won by 11% here, so it really wasn't that close.

The housing bubble really started with Clintons 1996 5 0 0 thousand dollar cap gains tax cut on the sale of a house. Throw in low rates and the Boomers "chain letter" of choice after the stock market crunched and you have a megatrend.

Bush clearly got any political hay made by it.
