A double dose of good news for the President.

The economy continues to roll as the fourth quarter numbers have been released and show a growth rate of 4.1%.

This paragraph buried deep inn the AP story is enlightening:

"The economy's performance in the second half of last year marked the best back-to-back quarterly performance since the first two quarters of 1984."

In other words, since Ronald Reagan was president. Or put another way, better than Slick Willie ever managed. Do you suppose Peter Jennings will point that out on the news this evening?

The second bit of happy news is that the National Journal has just released its rankings of the members of the U.S. Congress, and one John Kerry is the MOST LIBERAL Senator. Yep, more liberal than Teddy K and more liberal than Barby Boxer. This is stunning stuff and Karl Rove MUST be drooling with thoughts of the ads he can run this Fall.

I will say it again, Bush will win re-election, and he will do it fairly easily.
