>>> If we don't get a decent market in the next 2 years I wonder what CNBCs future is. <<< Probably showing old Abbott & Costello reruns... <g> I just think top management does not know what they are doing. As proof, I offer the fact that the old FNN (Financial News Network) which merged with CNBC in the early 1990s, started and grew during 1981 and early to mid 1982, not exactly good times for the stock market at all.

In the last election cycle, Democrats had a slight edge when it came to fund raising from the tech community. The GOOG numbers were relatively small. interestalert.com Search engine is cash engine for Democrats WASHINGTON, Feb. 14 (UPI) -- Employees of U.S.-based search engine Google gave $207,650 to federal candidates for the 2004 elections -- virtually all of it to Democrats. A USA Today analysis published Monday indicated 98 percent of the money went to Democrats, the most-lopsided giving of any of the top tech company donors. Microsoft was the biggest tech donor, with its political action committee contributing $3.1 million last year, 60 percent to Democrats. Overall, 53 percent of high-tech industry contributions went to Democrats, said the liberal Center for Responsive Politics, a group that tracks campaign spending and contributions. Republicans must work hard to win support from a company whose employees seem philosophically wed to Democrats, CRP's Larry Noble said. Google declined to discuss employee campaign contributions but the among the company's top 2004 givers was Chief Executive Officer Eric Schmidt, whose biggest single donation was $25,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
