Well, John, it's apparently not the economy

My fellow Texan, Digital Brownshirt, and all-around nice guy Rick picks out some statistics he got from Blogs for Bush:

-Percent of Americans without health insurance: Bush (15.6%), Clinton (15.6%)
-Debt as percentage of economy: Bush (37.5%), Clinton (48.5%)
-Number of workers not in the labor force but who want a job now: Bush (5.1 million), Clinton( 5.7 million)
-Average GDP over most recent 4 quarters: Bush (4.7%), Clinton (4.0%)
-Home ownership rate in latest quarter: Bush (69.2%), Clinton (65.1%)
-Inflation-adjusted average hourly earnings growth during first term: Bush (2.5%), Clinton (0.4%)
-Inflation-adjusted income growth for average American: Bush ($1,444), Clinton ($1,256)
-Average monthly inflation during first term: Bush (2.3%), Clinton (2.8%)
-Unemployment rate for Hispanics during first term: Bush (7.2%), Clinton (9.7%)
-Unemployment rate for Blacks during first term: Bush (9.9%), Clinton (11.3%)
-Percent of high school graduates who enroll in college: Bush (64%), Clinton (62%)

I realize that Blogs for Bush has a partisan axe to grind, but despite the fact that I also want President Bush to be reelected, I'm leery of information from partisan sources. On the other hand, the sources for this information can be found here. Follow the links and look up the information and tell me where it's wrong.

Okay, so Senator Kerry has espoused every possible position on Iraq, thereby undermining any high ground he may think he can claim there, and the economy is performing at least as well as it was in 1996 when President Clinton was reelected, at least partially on the strong performance of the economy, so what's left?

Senator Kerry, that odd visage you see when you look in the mirror is known as "toast."
