Tariffs
I heard that since Bush was implementing tariffs on steel, the EU might put tariffs on Florida Citrus products. Could help the Dems.

I will put it in this perspective.

If he does keep the tarrifs in place, he would probably win Pennsylvania and other large steel states. However, he would lose Florida, Michigan, and other states I suppose because those are the states that are either currently affected or will be affected. So he is pulling the strings here really.

Is this political? No doubt about it. But I feel that this is not the only issue we are dealing with. I have a feeling that Bush and his cabal are trying to pull a fast one here, but I am not sure what it is yet. I think there are a multitude of issues at play and he is playing his hand as if he was in Vegas.
