Please see hardcopy of magazine or PDF.] ROUND 1 2 3 4 ISSUE Economy Resources Consistency Party Unity ACTION Republicans have their choice of two painful metaphors: a broken record or Groundhog Day. The same darn pattern repeats itself: bad economic news highlights an unpopular President Bush, drives voters to the Democrats, boosts Barack Obama's proposals and draws the press to the late front runner.

...Economics professor Benjamin M. Friedman ’66, for example, noted that had economists seen the future in early 2007, “they almost certainly would have forecast a steeper downturn, with many more layoffs.” That is a striking insight.
