[E. Pluribus Unum]

This is exactly why the stock market is plummeting.

All it takes is the slightest hint, no matter how unlikely, that a DEMO(N)cRAT might become the next President.

You got that right!

The correct strategy for Bush is to focus not on the hispanics, not on the blacks, not on the females, not on the whites - but rather the INVESTOR class - there is 100 million of us out there owning stocks one form or the other!

The correct strategy is for Bush to emphasize how the policies of a Kerry/edwards ticket will harm the stock market. People vote for teh pocket book and these days it means the dow jones, the nasdaq or whatever ticker people are watching over CNBC.

Another strategy Bush gotta be careful of is not to paint Kerry as the same old rheoretic - he is too liberal, he is not for defense blah blah stuff from the senate, but rather to highlight the Kerry flipflops on positions - I am for war on day one, but not for it on day three only to revert back to I am for it on day 5. The strong card for Bush is he is decisive and stick to his positiosn, this is a plus in the time of war! He should challenge kerry on all the flipflops and arguing that we can't have a President who would wait for the latest poll data before casting a decision during a national crisis.

Plummeting ?

Hardly

Should the S&P break 800 it would be an appropriate term. It is at 1,129 and change now. It touch a low near 800 in March, 2003.

I think the current drop (hardly a "plummet" though) has something to do with the 4% GDP figure. Its still growth but traders are such nervous wusses.
