I agree with what you say in this post.

The last paragraph is especially true!

I think that very soon we will see something like this:

To coincide with the "sporting season" and the return to school and work, fewer casualties will be reported from Iraq.
With the onset of the holidays, there will be GOOD economic news.
After the holidays the campaign news and coverage will ensue in ernest.
We'll start to hear monthly and then weekly polls favoring the current administration.
Then some mudslinging throughout the spring, peppered with even better news from Iraq and the improving economy.
Comes summer time serious attacks will begin on the likely frontrunners.
After the Democratic convention, the one to emerge as nominee will get special treatment and an airing of "dirty laundry".
After the Republican convention, * and crew will have some amazing advertising about their great record.
Then it will be time to go and vote.

And I suspect that if * does "win" again few will doubt it, especially if there is nothing that looks like Florida in 2000.
