I would guess so. Politically, the problem is that as the monthly number goes positive, the Bushists will say "we're moving in the right direction, just like we told you we would," and people won't hold them accountable for the damage that has already been done.
What we need is people writing articles that quantify the harm done in the interim -- bankruptcy, mortgage foreclosures, evictions, homelsssness, etc. max So, Max, is the inference I am to make that this is a Snow job, to lower expectations, and to take Bush off the hook for the earlier higher prediction? I hadn't thought that Snow was that clever, but there are people who are. Gene >
