Same medicine at the mid-terms?
Recall the Republicans pulled out a few stops during 2006, including Goldmans (Paulsons old, Plunge Protetion Team leader, in the Presidents Working Group) rejigger of the commodity index, which helped drive gasoline prices lower ahead of the election. To really understand the nebulous world of government statistics, visit www.shadowstats.com. There may be a recession underway right now, if the revisions to the employment numbers continue to erase those rosy earlier projections. The Republicans will do everything to avoid the lable, recession, and the Democrats will appear petty and demeaning, to insist one exists. Very few candidates will campaign on Iraq, either. What are they going to talk about? How about the weather, Al Gore?
