The market is up because a) it has discounted the probability of Clinton's being removed from office, and b) there is a widespread realization that President Clinton has very little to do with the economic success of the past few years. Uh huh. And if the market had been down, it would have been because the market was finally realizing that Clinton is an incompetent crook. And if the market had been flat, it would have been because Clinton has made himself irrelevant. And if it rains, it will be because God is weeping that the American people have the evil Clinton as President. And if the sun shines .... In general, it's poor reasoning to start with the conclusion you want to reach, and then look for a theory that will make that conclusion match the available facts.
