Economy fading
I noticed also that the economy seemed to be fading of late. Bush has been putting a lot of election spin on it, but the signs are not strong.
In a very real sense, the hurricans in Florida helped Bush in this regard. The storms messed up the economy and reporting so badly that nobody has really commented on the fact that the last few months figures where bad.
I'm hoping this is just a slow down, but it could drop in recession next year. Either way it could put the next president into a bad situation, because he won't have a lot of room to manuver on budgets.
