In this thread, we discuss Political Implications of the Capture of Saddam
Saddam is now Captured. The Iraqi people are dancing in the streets, and France and Germany have issued statements about how great this is. The world will have justice.
As well, this will affect the economy greatly - Stocks and Equities are bound to skyrocket tomorrow, and the U.S. Market is already closed right now from Friday at above the pyschologically sensitive 10,000 mark, and will go even higher over the next week.
So, lets discuss the Presidential race. The President's approval ratings will undoubtedly raise, a main objective in the war in Iraq has been accomplished. The economy has been reaching new levels over the past few months, with the earlier raise in the GDP, the Dow above 10,000, etc.
Do the Democrats have anything left to use against the President? Howard Dean's platform - being against the war in Iraq - has been dealt a major blow.
Has President Bush just recieved a great chance at Four More Years?
