yes, they do. But the rise is of course due to the fact, that the traders believe that bailout is still near certain, and correct for the yday panic.
The point is, Pelosi holds all the cards now. She can engineer another 10% drop in the Dow, if she feels like it, and that will get blamed on the GOP.
I hope she hasn’t got the nerves for that, though.
Here is a curious thing that happened with a Quinnipiac polster that called on a coworker, another Freeper in fact.
Polster: Hi this is blank with Quinnipiac can I ask you a few questions...
So if you were to vote today who would you vote for the Republican John McCain or Barak Obama.
Coworker: I am not all that interested in voting this election
Polster: But if you were to decide to vote who would it be, would it be Barak Obama
Coworker: Like I said I have no opinion and have to run now
Polster: One more question, if you were leaning towards the positions of one candidate who would that be. Would you say you are more conservative in your politics like John McCain or more middle of the road like Barak Obama
Get my drift here, see the leading questions. I have heard similar stories by other people polled. Like used car salesman. And like has been chronicled here, most poll workers are college students or unemployed people which are BO demographic anyway
The reason the market didn’t crash as predicted - there is no crisis.
Traders around the world aren’t expecting the bailout to pass anymore.
So you’re premise can’t be right. You’re argument may be its better to support Polosi now, before she shoots herself and the country. These arguments never make sense to me.
