TA: You neglected a couple of items in your otherwise brilliant synopsis -- all of the concerted efforts of Bill Clinton and his supporters in the media creates an echo effect in the polls: the media tells the sheeple that everything is great and the sheeple respond "everything is great!" and, of course, they say the "country is headed in the right direction". And Bubba has the opportunity to use the bully pulpit (State of the Union Address) to spew 77 minutes of poll-tested sound-bites and programs that resurrect the era of big government, have no chance of being passed, but sounds great to every constituency-group in the country (because they were the focus-group that generated the sound-bite in the first place). Some might call this a vast left-wing conspiracy... For your consideration only.

TA, good points. Some comments: Fact #1. The Prez's outcome is important because he is the No 1 leader in world markets... I agree. Much more than the US market, overseas markets look for governmental bailouts, and they therefore like liberalism in Washington. Fact #2... Stick it to the US taxpayer, also in biz tech lingo known as " Suckerus Americanicus of last resortium " . Well, the administration is running around in a panic right now looking for ways to spend the surplus before taxpayers ask for it back. Fact #3... These MBA folks from the Eastern Liberal Establishment ... If you notice, these folks are all wealthy, and they love to spread other people's wealth around. Fact#3: They thus spread a story over the last 6 years that a) everything that the (few) true Republicans have proposed which made the economy grow ( tax and entitlement cuts, welfare cuts,etc) was actually the Prez's original idea ... The problem the Republicans have is that Ronnie defeated the Soviets by outspending them, George paid the delayed price in our economy, and Slick is reaping the benefits. Fact#5: Polls reflect this: " Americans LOOOOVE the Prez, because of his great handling of the economy ". Even though they know his morals ethics ... Yeah, well, it's not sex if the economy is good.
