With the housing market topped out, as well as minerals over their peak and headed somewhat downward, the economy could be looking at a period of weakness. This is as good a time as ever to have Ds in charge of Congress if it has to happen anyway, although the electorate may not associate Ds with Downturn.

Why? Because liberal idiots like Jim Cramer keep saying the markets have peaked?

That's what the price curves show. The peak is several weeks or months behind us. Who knows what tomorrow may bring, to coin a phrase, but with the defeat of Murkowski I wouldn't be sanguine about development in Alaska for a while, and that's what I am closest to.
