  2. McCain will win. Clinton still has a chance to clench the superdeligates.

  4. The connection is that if Hillary had won the nomination, at least you would know what you are getting. Obama is an unknown. He is a wildcard. Markets don't like uncertainty. Fear of the unknown. That said, based on what he has stated, there could not be a more anti-business candidate out there. Raising of taxes, expansion of government, socialized healthcare are just some of the detriments he proposes. At least with Hillary, the market knows it was more about her ego than trying to effect change.

  5. Hey, at least it is an end to the Bush / Clinton dynasty. Gramps ain't gonna win anyway. Just hoping that Obama doesn't screw it up too much.

  6. Bush may have a 25% aproval rating but 50% of America will vote republican. McCain will crush Obama.

    That will depend on whether Obama will offer Clinton as his runnig mate...(Clinton already told that she would accept if that's the case) if so McCain will lose.

    Obama won't offer it to Hillary. Even if he did, I still think McCain would have at least a 50/50 shot.

  10. They had Obama at less then 5% two years ago.

    McCain will win in a landslide.
