Title:Analysis could it be the economy stupid again?
sourece: [url=http://www.cnn.com]www.cnn.com[/url]
When you have a weak economy and a Republican president, that's when Democrats find their voice.

Where:According to a CNN Opinion Research Corporation's poll conducted November 2-4, the economy now tops the list of the issues voters.

Who:say the economy is moderately important, or not important -- 52 percent for Giuliani to 38 percent for Clinton.

What: the number one issue to voters right now. It's the economy, stupid" a phrase Clinton advisor James Carville made famous during President Clinton's successful 1992 presidential race.

Why: 57 percent of Americans thought things were going well, but that number has been dropping all year.

2. When the event happened? Wed October 31, 2007

3. Where the event happened? LONDON, England

4. Who was involved? airplanes of today and the new ones in modern life

5. What happened? Meanwhile, fuel prices are hitting record highs, with analysts increasingly expecting oil to break the $100-a-barrel mark, while airplanes are branded as global warming enemy number one because of their habit of depositing CO2 emissions high in the atmosphere. That is why we need new and biggest airplanes, and fastest too.
