May my personal diety strike me down for this, but Brit Hume's Grapevine had a few interesting details today.
First, there is good news on the economy.
The CBO says daily tax revenue is now $1 billion higher than it was a year ago and that will likely bring last year's record deficit of $412 billion to about $325 billion this year.
What's more, according to Bloomberg News, the deficit could drop as low as $250 billion next year — which means President Bush could fulfill last year's promise to significantly cut the annual deficit by 2009, three years early. Just a few months ago, the government was projecting the deficit to rise.
Further evidence added to an ever-growing heap that the Bush tax cuts gave the economy the shot in the arm it needed.
The next piece of news is dedicated to Ms. New Jersey, who is so enthralled with popularity that he has never seen a poll he doesn't like (as long as it makes the GOP look bad.)
...a new Rasmussen Reports poll, 58 percent of likely voters say that if President Bush nominates a qualified conservative to the Supreme Court (search), Senate Democrats should vote to confirm the nominee.
This follows a recent Gallup poll, in which a similar 58 percent said it is "very likely" that Senate Democrats would try to block a Bush nominee for inappropriate political reasons. Another 28 percent said it is "somewhat likely."
It may have taken awhile, but it looks like "likely voters" finally recognize the left's Supreme Court fight for what it is. "Inappropriate" and purely political in nature.
As Nelson Muntz would note at this point: Ha-ha.
