The ISM report is lower than expected, though still showing expansion. I'd predict decent, but slowing a bit from past couple months. It will be interesting to see what happens.
If high oil prices continue to act as a drag on the U.S. economy (i.e. stall our budding jobs recovery), it could be a serious problem for Bush. That is the most likely way in which AQ could affect the election against Bush. [I'm just waiting for the express arguments that, if we vote for Kerry, the terrorists win!]
