What nonsense. McCains VP choice has nothing to do with the markets, which have been falling due mostly to rapid decline in oil prices which is effecting all markets. There is huge artificial downward pressure on commodity prices by the 'feed the poor people UN powers that be, and the drop in oil prices is causing pressure to lower the commodity market prices.
If anything, McCain/Palin is a stabilizing force, at least there is hope for a future US government that won't destroy the economy like a Democrat Obama one most certainly will.
That depends on whether GOP conservatives regain control of at least one house of Congress or find another way to counter John McCain's "liberal tendencies."
If McCain walks into The White House in January with a Democrat-controlled Congress, McCain might just be tempted to be McCain and start giving us some of that "change" we feared, in the form of amnesty for illegals, taxpayer bailouts for private corporations, and carbon cap-and-trade.
And any one of those three has the significant potential to hobble, if not destroy, the U.S. on-the-books economy.
