People who can do a better job but might have to beg congress to get anything passed, or vote for who is likely to win. In social forums like these ones demos seem to dominate, as republicans are more the strong silent types. :) I could for instance easily get away with a joke about McCain being way too old or Bush being intellectually challenged and frequently getting his tongue tied up by his shoelaces, but if I were to jibe somehow that Obama is not black enough so may miss key votes in the BC, I would be instanter jumped on for political discourse in an investment thread. However I believe it is fair game to discuss what is good for the economy, an O candidate or an M. Good question indeedie. People have pointed out that Repubs economy's have done worse than demos. hmmmm.. true enuff, although the difference is not extreme. War usually inflates and as many dem candidates have been war prexies as repubs. One infamous repub, the one true leader, Nixon brought the boys home. The last debacle economically happened during a repub's reign, but does anyone believe that it was really W's fault? Do you think he had that much to do with it? He can't even pick out the right colour tie let alone a good economic platform. I believe most of the damage that led to this was the loosening of lending restrictions and bank-insurance-brokering incest that loaded all the debt down on the client from one high pressure, slick looking insitution. That is called glass and steel financial anaesthetic. No fair to Mr. and Mrs. America. And that was engineered by Gramm Leach Blilely.
