Hi Cobalt,

Thanks for the explication of the permutations of the plethora of possibilities. That really helped clear things up.

At least as far as my misunderstanding about the role of the Supremes. Seems as though I've got to do some study of writs of certiarori, if this mess continues.

Thanks a lot for providing that map. It surprised me at first. But it turns out, in juxtaposition with maps showing states supporting the Bush Presidency (Yes, Dorothy, Oz isn't that far away), that America has well and truly voted its will. And that is clear. America wants divided government. Heck, even I split my vote. :) We've got a swell Republican Congressman here in the 2nd-Oregon. <g>

And now, for something completely different:

I discovered this on another thread while trying to escape the obsession. The fascinating thing to me was the Greenwich Associates chart on "Total Trading Volume in Equity Derivatives". What surprised me was how little exposure the banks appear to have to this market. In view of the tremendous impact that LTCM had on the banking system as counter-parties, I'm not sure quite what to make of this. I believe that the Fed would be loathe to intervene if this market implodes unless and until the banks got in trouble. But it seems that it could happen at any moment.

Sorry for the diversion from strict attention to the Thrilla In Vanilla. But I thought it would be nice to have something else to worry about for a moment or two. :)

Best, Ray
