I don't think pre-clinton history applies now
When the race for 2000 prez began
all pundits said a sitting vp in time of peace and prosperity will win big time, based on all past experience
instead Gore never got his base on board
and Bush had tsunami
We are in new times
Love, Palo

A local economist in Arizona here (Elliot Pollock) said yesterday on the radio "the fundamentals of the economy are in the best shape they've been in" in the last 100 years. He believes the spending of the "not to be denied" baby boomers will carry the economy. Why: lots of disposable income--especially as more become "empty nesters", the "I need I want I must have" mentality, and there's SO MANY baby boomers).

I hope the heck he's right.

A tsunami of voters who stayed home and didn't vote for him? He lost the popular vote, remember?

Your theory is as good as any. We shall see. I still think 7800 is the bottom and that the market is already oversold.
