Hap.... I wasn't aware of this...
"- Reagan/Carter (1980) election to close to call -- Reagan by a landslide (he lost only MN GA WV and RI) absolutely no one saw it coming -- 487 to 51 on the electoral college"
It's what concerns me the most....the electoral college as opposed to the popular vote.
The other three points...I agree emphatically especially the recovery of the economy.
Most people don't realize the President's proposal to make the tax cuts of his first term permanent, at a 10-year cost of nearly $1 trillion would increase growth by promoting higher capital spending through a more attractive investment climate.
Kerry's plan would rely on greater govenment spending, in part from spending $653 billion to expand health care coverage.
The President's plan helps boost the stock market, profits and capital spending while the Kerry plan provides a bigger boost to government spending.
