   In case you didn’t know the election is a statistical dead heat, despite the MSM’s adoration of Obama and seriously lackluster campaigning by McCain. It seems quite a few folks aren’t buying Obama’s “hope & change” message, likely because they’ve seen it before.

   Ha! I guess you’d provide a link, but linking to ones imagination must be tough.

   Obama is up just slightly in most polls I’ve seen, from 1-5%, which basically covers the margin of error. That’s why I said it’s a dead heat. I’m surprised quite frankly, given the MSM’ s fervor for everything Obama and the fact that McCain has, in my opinion, ran a poor campaign thus far.

   Intriguing question: has anybody raised the issue (or written about) candidates or their surrogates bidding up these kinds of shares markets to pump up their image? I am NOT suggesting that’s happening here, but it does occur to me that this kind of system is vulnerable to that if one wanted to spend the money–and both campaigns could spend enough money to affect this market out of spare change.
