Actually, dazzleman, you hit it on head.  Even during the last brief mild recession, our economy was doing demonstrably better than that of other industrialized economies.  As such, economic troubles aren’t able to gain much traction politically.  It’s a lot harder to campaign on the theme that you can do better than to campaign on the theme that your opponent can’t do worse.  It will take a prolonged or deep peiod of economic trouble to make the economy issue #1  Note that I consider economic equity such as what Gore emphasized in his 2000 campaign to be a different issue.
