Bill Clinton only lucked out because of the Dot-com bubble.

I hate that this is a little known fact.  It is SO obvious. 
He also lucked out on:
1) "The peace  dividend"
2) having a republican congress he could steal credit from

Clinton wasn't a good president, but he might be the best democrat president.  I can't really evaluate Kennedy's half term.

Romney's bold message of economic freedom and prosperity is spreading across the country like a prairie wildfire.

Not that the Reactionary Party knows anything about that. 'Reaganomics' delivered middle class stagnation; 'Bushonomics' delivered middle class decline

I don't see Mitt Romney channelling Bill Clinton do you and raising taxes, especially on the primary beneficiaries of the supply-side tax cuts which fuel $1.4 trillion deficits?

Indeed, the post-war era has proven that its Democrats who own 1) economic growth; 2) job creation and 3) broad-based prosperity whether during the Golden Age of Capitalism or the Washington Consensus

Of course, the 'Crash of 2008' has discredited the neoliberal Road to Serfdom making it as dated as revolutionary socialism Roll Eyes

You never address my point that at local levels (where complete political control can be compared) Republican areas "OWN" growth and job creation and democrat areas "OWN" decline and job loss. 

Also, what IS the democrat economic philosophy?

They pretend to be Keynesian and only use stuff they can twist into quasi socialist policies. 

Republicans at least study and apply classical, Keynesian, or NeoLiberal economics.

If only that was true.  The unemployment rate in South Carolina has been higher than the national rate for close to a decade now.  The last governor we had who enjoyed an average unemployment rate during his term that was lower than the national average was Jim Hodges, our last Democratic governor.
I was talking about local not state level.  Areas where you have 25 years or more of party control, so as to mitigate many cyclical and external factors.  Basically the only way to study somewhat scientifically.

I hope you're right. The thing is... he's a poor campaigner. But he'd be a great president. The opposite is true of Obama. Unfortunately, campaigning is how you win elections.

Doesn't it seem like Obama is getting worse at campaigning and Romney(or team Romney) is getting better?

I don't know that their abilities are changing. I just think Obama is becoming easier to see through.
Yea, but i see it more like he was a one trick Pony/phony and he can't do the trick anymore, so it is like he doesn't have(or is allowed to use) the ability.   Plus his rate of mistakes is increasing.
