I've been hearing predictions that we're headed into a resession that'll last about two years. This is long enough that, when Obama runs for re-election, he'll be able to claim he fixed it, and that again, it's morning in America.

Except this is going to be a major realignment. Other countries are not going to trust the US economy the way they used to.

You are ****ed.

That is not true. Clinton ran on the issue of pushing through NAFTA. That was part of the "New Democrat" agenda that Clinton was running on. And he tackled it during his first year in office.

Yeah, I looked it up and you're right. I'm too young for this ****.

You know that economists can't make predictions longer than 6 months worth a crap don't you? There comes a time to stop listening to the experts.

I don't think you really believe that. You're understandably protecting yourself from the all-too-well-known feeling of heartbreak after being optimistic in the past. But cautious optimism is a good thing. Don't be a pessimist.

There's still a month to go, Boris, and I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of the Bradley Effect.

EDIT: Not to mention my tinfoil hat fear of the electronic voting machines.

And the feds have delayed sentencing on Rezko. Even though it probably means he's rolling on our Gov, Obama could get caught up in it.

Obama has already shown himself capable of blowing a lead.

When? With the exception of NH, Obama either matched or exceded the polling predictions in every primaries. And NH was because of the "Iowa bounce," which historically has always faded quickly. If you look at where he stood in NH a week before the IA caucuses, he did better than those polls predicted.

Fitzgerald better nail Blagojevich and Daley fast. I have a feeling President Obama will be replacing him with a far less effective US Attorney...

Yeah, one of the few good things from the current administration. Daley and other state politicians have requested his removal a few time already. He's one of the best in the history of Illinois.

Is that good or bad for the man McCain is labelling a "Chicago politician?" McCain is throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Obama and that's next. Smells very desparate.
