Yesterday was so powerful, pulling a lever for a politician who could save us from ourselves and from the possibility of an overtly powerful chain of events and companies from controlling our destinies in a semi-authoritarian sense of statehood. But today these Ununited States are divided and Rove and friends would like nothing more than for 49% of the country to fall upon itself in disgust and accusations and recriminations. My only hope is that the Spring of 2005 will bring about a more full acknowledgement of the utter failure of Bush policies and, like Nixons’ second term, Bush’s will garner an internal reaction unlike any other seen this side of the Atlantic. G-d Bless America.

I’m no Dow Jones industrialist but you can’t beat the historical record. CNN reports today that a study predicts Kerry will win based on the Dow’s October record.
The first paragraph of hte story reads: According to a recent study by the Hirsch Organization, publishers of the Stock Trader’s Almanac, if the Dow loses more than 0.5 percent of its value in the month of October before Election Day, then an incumbent president is going to lose his job. The Dow fell 0.52 percent in October. This predictor has been true every election since 1904.
Vote tomorrow!
