Unlike you reason I don't need someone else to make a chart for me to make a prediction. I am predicting a landslide. Unlike you( [img]graemlins/sheep.gif[/img] ) I don't need someone else to package something before I will say "Yeah, me too!" We can pick up this conversation on November 3rd...

WASHINGTON - President Bush is gaining support in Wisconsin, a state no Republican presidential candidate has won in 20 years.
A poll by USA Today/CNN/Gallup last week showed Bush up 52 percent to Democrat John Kerry's 44 percent. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus five percentage points.

I listened to an analyst the other day talk about inflation, and how across the board commodity prices have been rising, but they haven't yet made it to the consumer. Eventually, something will have to give.
In the meantime, Greenspan raises the Federal discount rate to temper the economic expansion and the resulting inflation.
Unfortunately the inflation isn't necessarily due to an expanding economy (at least not ours - China's expanding demand for raw goods is affecting us). It's due to oil and other factors.
This analyst (from a top 10 bank) speculated that Greenspan was raising rates so he'd have something to fall back on when the economy inevitably starts to falter due to lower demand resulting from the higher cost of goods.
As the war in Iraq continues to look grimmer, I'm not seeing any bright future, at least in the short term.
The stock market remains lukewarm at best.

Are you going to cry all day when President Bush wins this in a landslide, reason?
