Question
Which of the two do you think may hinder on Bush's reelection chances: the possibility of a faltering economy or Iraq?
I think the economy is the bigger problem. A lot of people are upset over casualties in Iraq (rightly so) but very few people are directly affected by it. And Bush can keep arguing that it is part of the war on terror while his opponent could be painted as too soft on Nat'l Defense. But the economy has definable measures - unemployment, deficit numbers, jobs lost, inflation, stock market, etc...It's easier to make arguments on economics in my opinion. Make sense?
