Agree that the above problems are bad, and it may be a tough year economically.
Not good for the incumbent in the Executive office, IMO.
But....don't count out the GOP yet, Ray.
The Democrats have a bad history of Presidential campaigns. partly do to their nominees, partly do to their policies.
Below is a link on the the dirty tricks being used against McCain in South Carolina.
There is a group that is calling South Carolinians and telling them lies about McCain. False, lies. This is much the same as the most dirty tactics played out in the South Carolina Primary in 2000, by GWB. McCain won New Hampshire in 2000, but GWB won in South Carolina and derailed McCain. Racist push-polling.
Below is the article on then, (2000) and now.

P.S. Do posters here think there should be two separate threads on the US election:
A Democrat election thread, and
A Republican election thread?
Or, should this one include the candidates from both parties?
