You ought to get your $125 if thats your goal. Course if the other guy gets it then............

I think the markets will be relieved after the election regardless of the outcome. First is release of uncertainty. Second, I don't know why the markets would be upset if a stooge of the Clinton administration got elected president. This "big intrusive government" thing is the Republicans' equivalent of the "Bush is stupid" thing on the other side. It's a slogan for people that don't want to bother really looking into things. Clinton was a centrist president, plenty of democrats detest him because he was a stealth republican as president. Gore will be the same way; he's a politician with his hand out like the rest of them.

Enough Wall Street guys say they don't care who wins as long as the Presidency and Congress are on different sides so the government can't easily pass whatever they want. But even if that happens, it will be a Republican sweep which will not bother the markets.

I agree that anybody that's for Gore can't be too proud of the drunk driving tactic. That is a real low-class, desperation tactic that gives American politics in general a bad name. What bothers me more than Bush's drinking "problem" is his unpublicized links to the Christian right, which his campaign has managed to soft-pedal very effectively. If elected he will be more beholden to theocrats than he lets on. Fortunately, the fourth branch of government (Wall St. and the corporations) are much more powerful than the theocrats.
