<< I see you haven't responded to my point that the markets on average do better under the Demo's >>

The recent dramatic spike to the upside (last several years) has contorted the figures to the democratic side. Also, I could be bold enough to say that it takes a while for economic policy to take effect (ie. the democrats take office after a republican presidency and then that democrat benefits from the policies put in place by the republican. When a republican takes office after a democrat, the economic downturn is just occurring, resulting from the democrats policies). Similar to today's situation; possibly.

In any event, yes, republicans are more pro-business than democrats.

Hey, either way I think the markets will be ok. Both candidates will have a tough time doing much of everything with the gridlock and polorization of the two parties.

The last two business days the market has tanked when Gore's henchmen, Daley and Christopher, made their daily threats of lawsuits, etc.. The whole action of Gore is unconscionable. I rate him a threat to American security. Giving secrets away to China, endorsing a secret agreement to arm Iran, and now compromising our election process. A very bad man.
