There needs to be sustained growth of over 3.5% in each of these quarters, and job creation must begin in the second quarter. If this happens, then the election is over and President Bush is reelected.

This is probably right unless Bush did something to piss people off besides the economy. I think most people are giving the military the credit not Bush. It was bound to happen as long as he decided to stay and hide in Iraq. Bush might try to use it in the race but I doubt he would because people would bring up he started the war because of the WMD's he never found.
