The frenzy continues in these states.When it is announced the national consumer confidence is improving, the study is conducted by asking around 1,000 people.People seek and follow only what they want to perceive.Depending upon which TV station you watch or which political analyst you follow, Kerry should be president right now.The same exact “Most Experts” statement could be stated during the first half of the 2000s and numerous other times since the 1960s.
