I think we should test it, though I do think public awareness of the
role the subprime crisis is playing in our current economic situation is
probably high.  In other words, while people are unhappy about the money
being spent in Iraq, I'm not sure they will be believe it has a role in
the recession.

Subject: "Iraq Recession"

Hey Guys, Wes Boyd sent me a note with the idea of tagging the recession
with the label "Iraq Recession" since it is an easy way to connect the
recession to Bush failures. Thoughts? I guess we could do "Bush
Recession" but that might seem too partisan. And, by saying "Iraq
Recession" we get to talk about all the money Bush is spending in
Iraq--a key irritant to the public.
