You must be a republiklan as often as you rationalize away your failures... The reality is that if dems do take house and/or the senate, Bush still has Veto power, which means at its worst we get gridlock, which the stock market tends to love. I can envision an initial dip in which all the "traders" get short, and then the pigmen rip them apart on a rally to new highs...
Right now Sunday afternoon odds: GOP holds Senate: 71.5% GOP holds House: 21% There has been a 2-3% uptick for GOP because of perfect Saddam verdict timing... And GOP has better "get out the vote" machine at local level. So chances of Dem sweep are only 22-23%... And certainly would cause a big stock selloff... Because a narrow Dem victory would ensure 2 years of gridlock in Washington.
Even if the Dems take the House, which looks like a given, they will have done so with the help of about a dozem "Blue dog" Democrats. The House Democrat leadership may find itself in the same situation as the the Republican leadership in the Senate. In other words, they may not be able to rely on every dem vote on some contentious matters.
I'm telling those who will listen..as I posted above last week it is gonna be a slaughter. Dem-O-krat-ics are gonna crush them..people across this great country of America are sick and tired of all the bullshit, corruption and losing so many lives in the middle east. It is gonna be ugly for the re-pub-la-cans when it is all over... And I ain't lyin, either..
