At 2:00 ET Wellstone's death was announced. Did anyone notice that the stock market went straight up after that?Today is Saturday and you can still see the graph here

If the Dems don't change the ballot it is because they don't believe Mondale will win. Mondale isn't a household name here like it used to be. When Fritz ran for prez, this frost-bitten state was the only one to carry him. We were rightly embarrassed.

I noticed that the market surged on the news of Wellstone's death.

Whether it's true or not a seminar caller to C-SPIN this morning commented that the folks on FNC were also remarking that the market surged upon the news.

The caller was so viciously critical of all things republican in general and FNC in particular that I don't know if her comment was truthful.

I recall reading that in that election if just ONE voter in each precinct changed their vote Friz would have lost Mn. also.

The death of this liberal is hardly news worthy. I suspect catching the sniper may have had more fo an impact since that AFFECTED busineess directly.
