If it were announced that Obama will be President tomorrow,
any doubts that the markets would rally? I think there'd be a huge rally in the world and that would have a positive effect on our markets.

2. More likely than not...
Jerry Garcia/David Grisman fan?

Did you ever see the special that Grisman's daughter did about them..with pictures, film and great narration.

It was on PBS a while back.

13. Interesting...I think Kruetzman son did the video for the trailer.
It was a great doc. Showed Garcia as a human being, unencumbered in his role as superman front guy for the Dead. Just give him a guitar, a joint, and a kitchen chair and he was a happy guy.....miss that guy. :-(

3. It's more than just the markets
I personally am not spending any money until after the election, and judging by the local economy, neither is anyone else. Everyone wants to know if we're going to have good times or bad, and it's painfully obvious which candidate is representative of which outcome.

My state is still painfully red, but there are a lot of people with their eyes open.

4. I was thinking earlier that much would be corrected if * just simply announced
his resignation effective immediately, the election was moved up, and Obama takes the oath say, October 4.

10. Good one!
No question that we've been Roved. There ought to be a Rovian class action suit for damages this prick has laid on the American psyche.
