Slick has plenty of incentive to keep the bubble alive and well. Priority One is to make sure Algore gets elected, ensuring a Clinton-friendly Attorney General for another 4 years. I'm sure he's seen what happened to his fellow former southern governor, Edwin Edwards (LA) after he and his cronies got flushed out of office.

For those who aren't familiar with Louisiana politics, Fast Eddie narrowly escaped multiple indictments while in office, primarily because his cronies always stuck together. Once he was perceived as being permanently out of office (and hence, out of power) though, the cronies had no reason to vouch for him anymore and they all dropped the nickel on him in plea bargains to save their own hide. He's now got a one-way ticket to a Federal prison. Don't doubt for one second that Slick hasn't taken note of what happened to his former neighbor to the south and prepared accordingly. What happens to the economy after the first Tuesday in November doesn't matter.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Easy Al stepped down from the Fed after the elections...always smart career-wise to get out at the top.
