All of the elctricity in the US is going to go out for several hours and no one will be able to vote.

[grovestreetthug]

then they will re-do the election.....right?

[batiriskaiasxhmos]

yes but why did people vote for bush for a second time..the economy was growing weak..the dollar was falling, oil prices were going up...why? did you believe the war would bring cheap oil and gas for your country?

aaaaha.

[ShaneKorte]

this is just obvious. When things are going good, people think that keeping the same president will keep them that way. Its just logical.

I say this without having seen the rest of the doc...but uhm...duh? If people's wallets are full, they will want to keep that going. When they aren't, they'll look for a change. I didn't need a doc to tell me that.

Also, in what I saw here, it doesn't state the obvious fact that good leadership *can* affect the economic trend...I'm curious to see the rest, but I hope it isn't so obvious.
